Chieveley
Chieveley /ˈtʃiːvli/ is a village and large civil parish centred 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north of Newbury in Berkshire, close to the M4 motorway and A34 road.As well as Chieveley, the civil parish also consists of the village of Curridge and the hamlets of Oare and Snelsmore Common.The M4 motorway, opened in 1971, passes east–west through the middle of the parish and has done much to cut Curridge and Oare off from Chieveley.Other industries include a garden centre, land-fill site, hotels, a baker and some small businesses.The Women's Institute's Berkshire Book assures the reader that chives were noted in the area as far back as 951.shillingsThis text is a structured shorthand tax assessment and identifies 39 men, many of whom would have had their own households, and three serfs, a form of slavery done away with early in the feudal system, generally in the era of Magna Carta.[citation needed] The present church is a Grade II* listed building and visible parts date from the 13th century.
