Ipsden enjoys the splendour of the local countryside with plenty of deer to be found in the woodland, as well as Red Kites which were reintroduced to The Chilterns in the 1980’s, and are abundant at Larkstoke Manor. The village offers a nursery school, village store and post office, church, village hall and public house, The King William. The nearby market town of Wallingford offers an excellent range of local facilities, shopping and recreational amenities including a Waitrose and a good range of antique shops. Goring on Thames is just 3 miles away and has a mainline rail link to London Paddington from 50 minutes. The more comprehensive amenities of Reading are within easy driving distance (London Paddington from 27 minutes). There are several major roadways within easy reach including the M4, M40 and A34 which provide excellent road links across the country, especially into central London. The local area is served by a first class range of schooling for all requirements. In particular, The Oratory, Radley College, Bradfield College, Cranford House and Moulsford preparatory schools, as well as having good links to Oxford for further schooling. The area is also extremely well served for sporting facilities including golf, clay pigeon shooting at The Royal Berkshire Shooting School, horse riding, walking, and racing at Newbury and Ascot. DESCRIPTION Believed to date back to 1895, Larkstoke Manor is a striking country house, in need of renovation to restore it to its former glory. The reception hall, with adjoining inner hall, has a galleried staircase with oak panelling. Off this central atrium, are the principal reception rooms, all of generous proportions with elegant ceilings and large bay windows, creating a light and airy space which takes advantage of the outlook, giving these rooms huge potential. The large, stylish kitchen breakfast room benefits from the addition of its south-facing dining area, glazed around three exterior walls with doors at each end leading out into the gardens. There is a drawing room of spacious proportions to one end of the house with an open fireplace and views of the private parkland. This leads off the inner hallway which also gives access to the library with full height bookcases, and the sitting room which benefits from an elegant bay window. Across from the kitchen/breakfast room is the majestic dining room which could provide a more formal entertaining space in contrast to the dining area adjoining the kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a family room, utility room, cloakroom and shower room to the ground floor. The house has been laid out to allow the majority of the reception rooms to have windows on three sides, providing a light filled space which takes full advantage of its surroundings and views. To the first floor, the impressive master bedroom suite takes precedence with an extensive dressing room leading through to the bathroom with spotlighting. There are four further bedroom suites (three with adjoining bathrooms) as well as a family bathroom. A separate staircase leads from drawing room to the sixth bedroom with en suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes, which after renovation would be ideal as a guest suite. GARDENS AND GROUNDS A stunning bluebell wood lies to the north, and is just a small part of the extensive grounds and woodland. There are also two good sized paddocks, ideal for equestrian use as the property formerly served as a stud, particularly in conjunction with the coach house, comprising a barn, stable and store room. There is also a former stable block and large storage shed, both which could potentially also be further developed subject to planning. There is a swimming pool, located in its own garden as well as a tennis court, both in need of restoration, situated discretely to one side of the house. The house is approached through impressive cast iron gates, where a gravel drive winds its way through the parkland. Despite its need for renovation, the house has enormous potential sitting neatly in its plot, surrounded by gardens, parkland and enviable views, offering privacy and seclusion. To the east side of the property, an orchard gives gated access to a bridleway connecting to The Ridgeway. There is a double garage with studio and bathroom above, ideal as a home office or ancillary accommodation. DIRECTIONS From Pangbourne, proceed out of the village towards Whitchurch on Thames. Continue over the Toll Bridge and through the village. Stay on this road and continue through Whitchurch Hill. On reaching the staggered crossroads, got straight over signed to Woodcote. Pass the White Lion restaurant and through Woodcote village. At the T-junction with the B481, turn left towards Wallingford. After approximately 1.5 miles, you will see a sign on the right for Ipsden (The Street). Go passed this and Larkstoke Manor can be found on the right hand side.

  • Team Profile for the Appointment of a House for Duty Team Vicar to Serve the Villages of Ipsden and North Stoke Within the Langtree Team Ministry
    TEAM PROFILE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A HOUSE FOR DUTY TEAM VICAR TO SERVE THE VILLAGES OF IPSDEN AND NORTH STOKE WITHIN THE LANGTREE TEAM MINISTRY The Appointment The Bishop of Dorchester and the Team Rector are seeking to appoint a Team Vicar to serve two of the rural parishes which make up the Langtree Team Ministry. The Langtree Team is in a large area of outstanding natural beauty and lies at the southern end of the Chilterns. It is in the Henley Deanery and the Dorchester Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Oxford. The villages lie in an ancient woodland area once known as Langtree, with Reading to the south (about 12 miles), Henley-on-Thames to the east (about 10 miles) and Wallingford to the northwest (about 3 miles). The Team was formed in 1981 with Checkendon, Stoke Row and Woodcote. In 1993 it was enlarged to include the parishes of Ipsden and North Stoke with Mongewell. The Team was further enlarged in 2003 to include the parish of Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. The combined electoral roll (2019) for our parishes was 308. The Team’s complete ministerial staff has the Team Rector serving Checkendon and Stoke Row, a stipendiary Team Vicar at Woodcote and non-stipendiary Team Vicars on a house- for-duty basis serving (a) Ipsden and North Stoke and (b) Whitchurch and Whitchurch Hill. There is a licensed Reader, a non-stipendiary Team Pastor and a part time Administrator. The Langtree Team staff provide support for the parishes in developing their response to local ministry needs.

  • English Medieval Population: Reconciling Time Series and Cross Sectional Evidence
    ENGLISH MEDIEVAL POPULATION: RECONCILING TIME SERIES AND CROSS SECTIONAL EVIDENCE Stephen Broadberry, London School of Economics, [email protected] Bruce M. S. Campbell, The Queen’s University of Belfast, [email protected] Bas van Leeuwen, University of Warwick, [email protected] 11 October 2011 File: MedievalPopulation8 Abstract: A new time series for English medieval population is constructed from manor-level data using an index-number approach and a regional-weighting scheme. The absolute level of the medieval population is established with a benchmark for 1377, but using the need for consistency with other benchmarks for 1086, 1522 and 1541 as additional constraints. The amount of food required to support the peak medieval population is checked against a reconstruction of English agriculture at that time. Acknowledgements: This paper forms part of the project “Reconstructing the National Income of Britain and Holland, c.1270/1500 to 1850”, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, Reference Number F/00215AR.We are grateful to Alexander Apostolides for valuable research assistance and to Larry Poos for making available his data on tithing-penny payments. 1 I. INTRODUCTION The pioneering work on English medieval population by Russell (1948) established benchmark levels of population for 1086 and 1377 and considered time-series evidence to link these to each other and to estimates for the early-modern period. Russell paid particular attention to the consistency of his estimates over this long sweep of history and arrived at the conclusion that the peak level of medieval population before the Black Death was around 3.7 million.

Woodhouse Farm: Past and Present My grandfather, Glynne Williams, built Hailey House in 1914, replacing a TB sanatorium, and then acquired a thousand acres of farmland around the house; this is now known as Woodhouse Farm. Glynne lost two sons in the Great War; my father, Adrian, having joined up in August 1914, was the only surviving sibling. He came back to Hailey in 1940 to farm with his wife, Betty, where they brought up their four children. Today we still farm about the same area in Ipsden, together with 400 acres rented in Checkendon and Woodcote. Of the total of around 1,400 acres, 900 are in the arable rotation, 100 acres have been taken out of arable and put into environmental features, 200 acres are permanent pasture, and there are 150 acres of woodland. The Farm is managed with a single employee, Steve Atkinson. The pasture is let to Alex Bunce for his flock of sheep. The arable operations are undertaken by HBH Farming based in Ipsden. Arable crops consist of winter wheat (much of which is contracted to Warburtons for breadmaking), winter and spring barley, beans and peas, and maize mainly for Guy Hildred’s anaerobic digester. Oilseed rape has this year been discontinued due to the lack of an effective deterrent for the cabbage stem flea beetle, and we decided against growing opiate poppies again.
