Hedgerley St Mark

 

The Parish

The parish of Hedgerley lies in southeastern Buckinghamshire not too far from its borders with neighbouring Middlesex. Hedgerley is located about 3 miles southeast of the market town of Beaconsfield and 4 1/2 north of the modern town of Slough. Hedgerley is a small and compact village sitting a mile east of the A355 road which connects Beaconsfield with Slough. Modern communications, in the form of the M40 motorway, pass through the north of the parish a mile north to the north of the village. At the time of this transcript Hedgerley would have been a farming community with a mixed farming regime, both pastoral and arable. Today this is expensive real estate in London's leafy "stockbroker belt". Hedgerley is drained eastwards by small tributaries of the Alder Bourne which the Colne near Uxbridge and then the Thames near Staines before reaching the North Sea through the capital and the Thames Estuary. Hedgerley is sited at around 70 metres above the sea in rolling near-Chilterns countryside with local heights ranging to around 100 metres nearby. Hedgerley parish was small for this area, it covered just under 1,000 acres and would have supported a population near 150 parishioners. There is no specific mention of Hedgerley in Domesday Book.

 


The Church

St Mark's church is sited to the northern end of the village and is accessed from Village Lane by a footpath leading off next to the White Horse Inn. Sadly this is not a mediaeval building but one that was erected in 1852. The church is clearly of little architectural interest to Pevsner as his description (just a couple of lines of text) is short and merely list the principal elements. The church follows the standard pattern of chancel, nave and western tower and makes extensive use of the local flint. A blue sign indicates the turnoff and the tarred drive leads for 100 metres or so through dense trees to the churchyard. This, too, is quite wooded but a few angles for photography are present.
