Basildon is a civil parish in the English county of Berkshire. It comprises the villages of Upper Basildon and Lower Basildon, named for their respective heights above the River Thames. Basildon is 7 miles (11 km) from Reading, 47 miles (76 km) from London and 20 miles (32 km) from Oxford. The parish is bordered to the north by the River Thames and the Oxfordshire parishes of Goring and Whitchurch-on-Thames on the other side of the river. To the south of the river it is bordered by the parishes of Pangbourne, Bradfield, Ashampstead and Streatley.[1] The parish forms part the unitary authority of West Berkshire. It is within the Newbury parliamentary constituency.[1] The National Trust property of Basildon Park is situated between Lower Basildon and Upper Basildon. Beale Wildlife Park and Gardens lies between Basildon Park and the River Thames. [edit] History The ancient manor of Basildon comprised the present-day civil parishes of Basildon and Ashampstead and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Bastedene. It was an important royal manor at the time of the Norman Conquest with a female Lord of the Manor. The parish has been inhabited since at least neolithic times and stone axes have been found dating back to 450,000 bc. The area was settled by the Romans, Saxons and Normans, partly because the Thames used to be the frontier between rival tribes and kingdoms. It was also the home of Jethro Tull who was both born and buried in the parish. The name Basildon Bond known for the writing paper and stationery is believed to have been named after the Basildon Park estate of Major James Archibald Morrison which he owned between 1910 and 1929.
Plasterwork is one of the most ancient of building techniques. Evidence shows that the dwellings of primitive man were erected in a simple fashion with sticks and plastered with mud. The pyramids in Egypt contain plasterwork executed at least four thousand years ago, probably much earlier, and yet hard and durable, at the present time. From recent discoveries it has been ascertained that the tools of the plasterer of that time were practically identical in design, shape and purpose with those used today. For their finest work, the Egyptians used a plaster made from calcined gypsum just like plaster of Paris of the present time, and their methods of plastering on reeds resemble in every way our lath, plaster, float and set work. Hair was introduced to strengthen the material, and the whole finished somewhat under an inch thick.
