Beech Hill

Beech Hill is a village and civil parish in Berkshire, England. It is in the south east of the West Berkshire district and bounds Hampshire and Wokingham district. The Foudry Brook, a tributary of the Kennet, and the Reading–Basingstoke railway line, run through the north of the parish.

Beech Hill was originally part of the parish of Stratfield Saye, a cross-county-border parish, most of which was in Hampshire. The Berkshire part became a civil parish in its own right in 1894. In the 16th century, it was part of the hundred of Theale, but was later transferred to the hundred of Reading which effectively ceased to function after 1886. By 1875, Beech Hill had become part of the Bradfield rural sanitary district which, in 1894, became the Bradfield Rural District. Since 1974, it has been part of the district of Newbury, now called West Berkshire.
