Kidmore End is a village in Oxfordshire, in the very south of the county, two and a half miles north of the county's border on the River Thames at Caversham, an important regional centre of commerce, research and engineering. It is in the edge of the Chiltern Hills, as they become gentler towards the Thames. The A4074 from Reading towards Oxford passes through the west of the parish. Henley on Thames is six miles to the west.
About the village
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 [1] and a public house, the New Inn.[2]
The Church of England parish church, St John the Baptist, designed by Arthur Billing, was built in 1852.[3] The village school was opened in 1856 and is now a Church of England primary school.[4]
