Berrick Salome

Berrick Salome is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, England, about 3 miles north of Wallingford. Since the 1992 boundary changes, the parish has included the whole of Roke and Rokemarsh and Berrick Prior . The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 326. In 1965, Reginald Ernest Moreau , an eminent ornithologist, and a Berrick Salome resident from 1947, realized that he could build up a picture of the village as it had been in the decades before the First World War, based on the recollections of elderly villagers. His study, which was published in 1968 as The Departed Village: Berrick Salome at the Turn of the Century, also included an introduction to local history. This provided much of the information for "A Village History" which appeared in The Berrick and Roke Millennium Book and is the major source for this article.
