Beedon
The small village lies six miles north west of Newbury on the Downs. The parish included the hamlet of Stanmore. It is on the main road from Newbury to Oxford. The soil is mainly chalk and clay, with some sand in the southeast. Three quarters of the land was arable, about one tenth permanent grass, and a small amount woodland.
