History
From the 12th century until 1956, the
John Wedgwood (1766–1844), founder of the Royal Horticultural Society, lived in the 1820s.[4]
The parish is transected by a
hypocausts
and wall-plaster paintings.
The Rev. Alan Gardner Cornwall was rector of the adjoining
ecclesiastical parish of Bagpath with Owlpen from 1827 to 1842. His memoirs were published shortly after his death and are available online in .pdf format. They are a lively account of his early life with the Clapham Sect
in London, his friendship with the Kingscote family, whose daughter Caroline he married, and of his ministry at a time of social distress following the decline of the local woollen cloth industry in the 1830s.
