Boxford, Berkshire
The village is on the east bank of the River Lambourn, about 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Newbury but south of the M4 motorway.[3] A hearth and pottery fragments from the Iron Age, including a La Tène pot, have been found near the north end of Boxford Common.[7] The course of the Ermin Way Roman road that linked Corinium Dobunnorum (Cirencester) and Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester) passes through the south of the parish.[10] Both men ceded their holdings to Abingdon Abbey, which thus held the whole manor of Boxford before the Norman Conquest.It was originally created in the late 19th century by Charlotte Peake, a local writer and lover of music, drama and poetry.
