LOCATION

Benson lies about 1.5 miles north of Wallingford at the foot of the Chiltern hills at the confluence of a chalk stream (Ewelme Brook) and the River Thames, next to Benson lock. An attractive village just a stones throw from the commuter belt of the M40 with many delightful period buildings fronting the high street, the village affords a thriving community with many day to day amenities, including a Church of England primary school with a pre-school and a doctors surgery. There is also, two public houses including the 18th-century coaching inn, The Crown Inn, and the Three Horseshoes. There are quite a few small shops, including a supermarket and chemist, and just a quarter mile outside the village, there is a large garage which has an on-site McDonald's and a Marks and Spencer food outlet.

Benson is one of several key sites of the English civil war in South Oxfordshire, lying between the site of the Battle of Chalgrove Field (which took place on 18 June 1643) and Wallingford Castle, reputedly the last Royalist stronghold to surrender, and close to the Royalist cities of Oxford and Newbury. At Benson itself, a building is still known as the Court House from the time that King Charles I held court there when en route to Oxford.

The nearby ancient market town of Wallingford owes its importance largely to its strategic position approximately mid-way between Oxford and Reading on the Icknield Way, at a natural fording point of the River Thames and therefore on the direct ‘East to West’ route for travellers from as far back as the Bronze age linking East Anglia with the West Country and Wales. A terrible fire destroyed most of the mediaeval architecture in the town but there are numerous period buildings of great merit dating from the 16th century onwards, notably the Town Hall built in 1670, the 16th century George Hotel (an old coaching inn) and the Corn Exchange, of Italianate design, now a Theatre and Cinema. The town now boasts a population of just over 6,000 and is a bustling market town and popular riverside touring centre with a wide range of interesting Artisan shops together with a Waitrose Supermarket, restaurants and Cafes. Other facilities include a Museum and a Cottage Hospital.

The area is also extremely well served by an excellent range of state secondary and private schooling, including Cranford House School, The Oratory Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College, Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School, Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School, Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.

There are excellent road communications for the surrounding important towns and motorway networks, with Cholsey and Didcot both having mainline stations providing fast commuter services up to London (Paddington) via Reading in well under the hour.
