Hatford St George

The Parish

The parish of Hatford lies in northwestern Berkshire, indeed in that part of the county that was transferred to Oxfordshire in 1974. Situated in the Vale of the White Horse Hatford is about 3 miles east of the market town of Faringdon, the small concentration of houses, not large enough to call a village, is sited on the B4508 road. The area is relatively low lying, barely 80 metres above sea level and is largely an arable area with large fields interspersed with ancient copses. Hatford is situated on a small tributary of the river Ock. The parish is of a small acreage - just under 1,00 acres and held a relatively small population of about 120 parishioners. Despite this small size the parish has a long history being mentioned in Domesday book where it held 6 ploughs.

The Church

St George's church is an ancient building, there are Norman features which indicate an origin in the middle 12th century. Other parts are clearly from the major church building era in the late 13th century. The church is sited on a slight bend in the B road as it passes through the main cluster of cottages. The church is small and at one time was ruinous, it is still used for services although now combined with Stamford in the Vale. There is no indication that the church was ever in possession of a spire or tower.
