| The village of Pangbourne lies on a bend of the River Thames
where it meets the River Pang and, like many of the villages on
the banks of the Thames, Pangbourne has a long history. The first
recorded mention of it is in a Saxon charter of 844 although
signs of Roman occupation have been uncovered on Shooters' Hill.
Pangbourne means 'Paega's People's Stream', indicating that it
was the home of an early Saxon chief and his retinue. |
| The village, which although small, has a good range of shops
as well as pubs, small cafes and restaurants. Notable past
residents include eighteenth century dramatist Thomas Morton,
popular writer William Tufnell LeQeuex, actor George Arliss and of
course author of Wind in the Willows Kenneth Grahame. Another
notable resident was D.H.Lawrence, who with his wife stayed at a
house in the Reading Road called The Myrtles. |
