History, heritage & famous connections
Tilehurst, its name is thought to derive from the tile-making that once went on here, grew up as a village on the high ground west of Reading, with St Michael's Church, parts of which date from the late 13th century, at its heart; the church holds 16th-century brasses said to be the oldest in Berkshire. For centuries it was a hilltop village looking down towards the Thames.
As Reading expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries, Tilehurst grew into a large residential suburb, gaining its railway station (in 1882), its landmark water towers, and a great deal of family housing. Administratively it came to be split, with part in Reading Borough (‘Tilehurst Within’) and part remaining in the West Berkshire parish of Tilehurst (‘Tilehurst Without’). Today it is a large, established and well-connected suburb, popular with families and commuters.
