Stratfield Mortimer

Stratfield Mortimer


Stratfield Mortimer is a friendly Parish and has a wide range of local services; schools, shops, fire station, library and a number of clubs and societies providing the needs of the community. It has easy access to the towns of Reading, Newbury, Basingstoke and Wokingham with its own Brunel designed railway station and close proximity to both the M4 and M3.

The Parish, occupying approximately 1250 hectares, remains essentially a rural area with a high proportion actively farmed and also contains substantial woodland. At the heart of the Parish lies the village of Mortimer built on gravel land. Despite residential expansion and urban influences, which have continued since Victorian times, the village retains a rural identity and character, and the benefits of a close-knit community life.
