East Garston has an enviable location in wildest West Berkshire, it
is a long, narrow parish of nearly 4,500 acres in the far west of the
county, between the village of Lambourn and town of Newbury. The village
occupies the centre of the parish, through which runs the river Lambourn.
The parish has approximately 226 dwellings and a population of 532 (2001
census). The village sits just off the unclassified road that runs from
Great Shefford, along the valley to Lambourn.
Memories in East Garston go back a long way.The village predates its
busier neighbour, Newbury, by several centuries, and in case you're
wondering ~ No, there is no West Garston. East Garston is a corruption
of Asgar. ~ Asgar being the name of the Saxon lord of the manor, but
settlement here goes back well before this.
