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
online HER enquiry form.
Kintbury (Chenetbrie) was the centre of a Domesday hundred and consisted of 7 manors
Kintbury was a Hundred at the time of the Domesday book, and the large parish then contained a number of separate estates <1>. Several manors were associated with Kintbury: Barton or Kintbury-Amesbury, Kintbury-Eaton (given to the priory of Nuneaton in the 12th century), Denford, Inglewood (with 3 sub-manors of Balsdon, Anville and Templeton), Titcomb and Wallingtons.
A reference in 931 to 'the servants of God' and 'the holy place' at Kinbury suggests that there was a minster or oratory there [Charter? Referenced in Knowles and Hadcock 1971].
Astill <2> lists Kinbury as a village with a market in the medieval period - 1267, granted by the Nunnery of Shaftebury.
