Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all - along with Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France. Almost every child knows his commemoration day in the calendar of saints, December 6th. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put a small gift of food out for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

Moor Copse is a delightful ancient woodland, wetland and meadow located near Reading, and within the North Wessex Downs Area of Natural Beauty. The reserve features a diverse range of flora and fauna, and is especially renowned for its beautiful woodland flowers, birds, butterflies and moths.

The River Pang is a tributary of the River Thames. It runs from here to Pangbourne where it joins the much bigger river. This chalk stream is said to be the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame writing 'The Wind in the Willows'.

All along the south side of the Thames between Purley and Pangbourne there are gorgeous views across the water. There are often swans, geese and ducks swimming by too.

Mill Lane is a cute little gravel lane with picturesque houses along its edge. It leads down to Calcot Mill and its mill pond. It was built by monks from Reading Abbey. Sadly after being ruined by fire in the 1960s, the mill was converted to flats and is no longer in working order.

It is said that Wilder's Folly was built as wild romantic gesture by the Reverend Henry Wilder. He lived at Sulham House, while Jane Thoyts, who he was trying to woo, lived nearby at Sulhamstead House. The folly was positioned at the exact spot where you could see both houses. Take a look to the north as you can still see Sulham House today.
