Amenities and geography
The village is dispersed into four built-up streets or small clusters of homes and has half-timbered cottages, housing ranging from early Georgian to a few late 20th century and early 21st century homes [2] and a public house, the New Inn.[3] The Church of England parish church of Saint John the Baptist, designed by Arthur Billing, was built in 1852.[4] The village school was opened in 1856 and is now a Church of England primary school.[5] Kidmore End Cricket Club plays in the Thames Valley Cricket League.[6] The nearest shop, café and small business services are in Sonning Common, centred 0.5 miles (1 km) north-east. The area is about 3 miles (5 km) long at its longest (north-west to south-east) and includes the named localities of Gallowstree Common by a wooded common, Cane End, Chalkhouse Green and Tokers Green.[7]
