The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read
the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our

Full Description
The manor of Yattendon was left by King Alfred to his wife in his will according to certain sources <1><2>, although this is not mentioned by the Victoria County History <3> in its section on the manorial history. Both Yattendon and Frilsham were royal estates before the Norman Conquest and Greenaway suggests that they may have been a single large estate based on a farm complex by the river Pang.
