Bucklebury
At the eastern boundary of the common is Chapel Row, incorporating local landmarks such as the Blade Bone public house, a doctors' surgery and a teashop.This is on a hill about a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-west of Bucklebury village at the western tip of the common.[3] Henry I (reigned 1100–35) granted Bucklebury to the Cluniac Reading Abbey, which retained it until it lost all its lands to the Crown with the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540.Over 100 tools used at his workshop at Heatherdene, Bucklebury Common are in the Museum of English Rural Life collection.[3] Late in the 13th century, a second arch was added to turn the transept into a two-bay north aisle.[8] The 1,600–acre (647 ha) agricultural Bucklebury manor estate was confiscated from Reading Abbey at the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540 and granted to John Winchcombe (died 1557), who built himself a fine Elizabethan mansion.[9] When it was owned by the Hartley family, a fire in 1830 destroyed the greater part of the house, which was later demolished.In that year, Major Derrick Hartley Russell restored the remains of the old mansion to form the present Bucklebury House.
