LOCATION
Stanford Dingley is regarded as one of Berkshires most beautiful
and much prized villages, enjoying a particularly scenic and
timeless setting in the Pang Valley. It boasts a long history with
its Mill first mentioned in the Domesday Book. Other notable
buildings include The Bull a 15th century old coaching Inn which
has a wealth of old beams, the 18th Century Old Boot Inn, and the
parish church of St Denys which dates back to the 13th century with
possible earlier origins.<⁄p>
Throughout the village there are numerous attractive houses and
cottages and several scheduled buildings, not least including the
Old Rectory, a splendid Georgian house of mellow red brick. From
the village there are good road communications providing ease of
access to Reading, Newbury and to Oxford from the A34 & M4
junctions 12 & 13 . For Train commuters there are mainline stations
at Pangbourne on Thames and Theale providing fast services up to
London Paddington in well under the hour.<⁄p>
The village owes its name to William De Standford, who was a
lord of the manor in 1224 and to Richard Dyneley mentioned in 1428
as the son of William Dyneley Esq, the bodyguard to Henry VI.
Throughout the ages industries have thrived in Stanford Dingley
including a tannery based originally on ample supplies of oak bark,
a smithy and more recently there was a bottle factory near the
bridge, with its products occasionally found in the surrounding
gardens.<⁄p>
Bradfield College, the well known Public School located a few
miles from Stanford Dingley, has excellent leisure, fitness and
sports facilities including a large indoor swimming pool all of
which are available for use by members of the public. The
facilities also include squash, badminton and tennis courts, hockey
and a 9 hole golf course.<⁄p>
The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of
both state and private schooling, of particular note; St Andrews,
Bradfield College, Pangbourne College, Downe House, Elstree,
Cranford House, Moulsford Preparatory, Abingdon Boys and The School
of St Helen & Katharine.<⁄p>
