CHILDREY
Like many other Vale villages the 'ey' in the name 'Childrey' indicates a former island settlement in the marsh. Now Childrey is an attractive springline village nestling at the foot of the Berkshire Downs right on the edge of the Vale of White Horse.
The village churches are St. Mary's Church and the Childrey Methodist Church. St. Mary's features some fine memorial brasses to the Lords of Rampayne Manor, copies of which are available for rubbing. A plaque in the porch informs that the brasses were restored in 1987 with the help of the Council for the Care of Churches and the Pilgrim Trust. Childrey is just off the B4507 about three miles west of Wantage. |
