Pangbourne Village Sign

Highlight • Monument

Pangbourne has an ornate village sign, featuring Berhtwulf the King of Mercia (the Midlands) who obtained a grant of land (first official record of Pangbourne's existence) here from the Bishop of Leicester in AD 844.

On top is a Viking ship. Underneath the name is an open book in a tree landscape with the words: "The Wind in the Willows; By Kenneth Grahame", paying tribute to the author who lived at Church Cottage in Pangbourne from 1924 until he died in 1932.

Whitchurch Bridge over the River Thames

Highlight • Historical Site

The river Thames marks the boundary between Oxfordshire to the North and West Berkshire to the South a few miles either side of Pangbourne and is here crossed by the Whitchurch Bridge, connecting Pangbourne with Whitchurch-on-Thames.

Historical records of this being a strategic crossing point go as far back as 844AD.

Both sides of the river are lined with beautiful and exclusive houses, best observed from the boats cruising the river.
