Aldermaston, Berkshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A quiet village in the Kennet Valley. the parish church boasts medieval wall paintings and the ornate Tudor memorial to Sir George Forster (1533). The Street features numerous attractive 17th and 18th century worker's cottages, many of which are listed buildings. Keen gardeners will know that Aldermaston was the first place in Britain where the William pear variety was successfully cultivated, by the headmaster of the school. Just outside the village is the Tudor manor of Ufton Court. Every three years the village holds a 'Candle Auction' at Christmas time; an unusual tradition whereby bidding on the rental of Church Acre lasts until a horseshoe falls from a tallow candle.
