Welcome to Earley

Earley, Berkshire is a picturesque town located in the heart of the Royal County of Berkshire, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles east of Reading and 40 miles west of London, making it an ideal location for those who wish to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while still having easy access to the bustling cities. The town is steeped in history, with its origins dating back to the 9th century when it was first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Over the years, Earley has grown and developed into a thriving community that offers a perfect blend of modern amenities and charming historical features.

One of the most notable landmarks in Earley is the historic St. Peter's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. This beautiful church is a prime example of Norman architecture and features a stunning stained-glass window that was installed in the 19th century. The church is surrounded by a well-maintained churchyard, which provides a peaceful and serene setting for quiet contemplation. In addition to St. Peter's Church, Earley is home to several other historic buildings, including the 16th-century Maiden Erlegh House and the 18th-century Laurel Park, both of which have been lovingly restored and preserved for future generations to enjoy.

In recent years, Earley has become a popular destination for families and young professionals, thanks to its excellent schools, modern housing developments, and convenient transport links. The town boasts a range of high-quality educational institutions, including the highly-regarded Maiden Erlegh School and the University of Reading, which is just a short drive away. Earley's close proximity to the M4 motorway and Reading's mainline railway station makes it an ideal location for commuters, with regular train services to London Paddington taking just 30 minutes. Additionally, the town offers a wide range of leisure facilities, such as parks, sports clubs, and shopping centers, ensuring that residents have plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind in their spare time.
