About Wokingham

Wokingham, a Berkshire market town, unfolds its story in the gentle landscape of the South East. It lies 5.4 km north-north-west of Crowthorne (from Crowthorne: bearing 329°T, OS grid SU 812 685), and is situated east-north-east of Barkham village. Historically, Wokingham was a centre for the timber trade, its fortunes tied to the ancient Royal Forest of Windsor which once stretched across the region, its very soil imbued with the scent of pine and oak. The town's economy, though now diverse, retains echoes of this arboreal past, alongside a thriving retail sector that gives the market square a vibrant pulse on busy days. The character of Wokingham is perhaps best captured in the enduring appeal of its market square, a space that still feels the honest bustle of commerce under the wide English sky. While no single architecturally grand edifice dominates the skyline, the town boasts a rich collection of historic buildings, their varied brickwork and slate roofs whispering tales of centuries past, a gentle testament to the continuity of life here. It is a place where the quiet hum of everyday existence, punctuated by the chime of church bells from All Saints' Church, offers a subtle melody to those who dwell within its embrace.
