Shiplake, Dunsden & District
The village of Shiplake lies on the River Thames, between Henley-on-Thames and Reading. At the centre of the village are the Village Shop (opposite) and the Baskerville Arms |

Our base is the Shiplake Memorial Hall. It was "erected and presented for the use of their fellow parishioners" by Reginald and Lydia Mardon in 1925 in memory of their elder son. The Hall now hosts a daily nursery, and many other events, including regular antiques shows, private hires and, of course, the occasional pantomime! |

Dunsden Green lies between Shiplake and Reading. All Saints Church, built in 1842, is outside the village itself. Its nearby vicarage once was home to World War I poet Wilfrid Owen. |

Between Shiplake and Dunsden lies Binfield Heath, the centrepiece of which is the Village Shop.
