Reading
Berkshire
Reading is situated on two small eminences, whose gentle declivities fall into a pleasant vale, through which the branches of the Kennet flow till they unite with the Thames at the extremity of the town.
Walton & Hersham
The Walton station is a short distance from Hersham, one mile to the left, and the same distance from Walton to the right. In the old church of St. Mary’s, which may be seen rising amongst the trees, will be found various interesting monuments of considerable antiquity. A “scold bridle” is shown.
Apps Court, near Walton, was another of the many residences once belonging to Wolsey; and Ashley Park, the seat of the Fletcher family, is memorable for having been the temporary abode of Cromwell, prior to his assuming the Protectorate.
