BURNHAM is an extensive parish, giving name to a hundred in the union of
Eton, from which place it is 4 miles N.W. by N. distant. It consists of the
chapelry of Lower Boveney, and the liberties of Upper Boveney, BritWell,
East Burnham, and Cippenham ; the whole covering an area of 6730 acres, with
a population in 1861 of 2233 persons. About a mile distant from the village,
which is pleasantly seated near the Thames, are some small remains of a
Benedictine Abbey, founded by Richard, King of the Romans, in 1265. The
Kings of Mercia, and the Kings of England, of the Norman line, occasionally
resided at a palace built on a moated site near Cippenham. A market was
originally held here, but has for many years been discontinued; an annual
fair, for hiring and pleasure, is held on the 2nd of October. The church,
dedicated to St. Peter, contains an elegant monument to the memory of Lord
Chief Justice Willes. The living is a vicarage, including the curacy of
Lower Boveney, in the presentation of Eton College, and deanery of its name,
annual value £500; vicar, the Rev. Thomas Carter, M.A. Here is a National
School, supported by a small endowment and subscriptions of the
parishioners. Tha Independents have a place of worship in the village.
Public chambers were erected in 1854, by subscription, in which the
Magistrates' meetings are held. Burnham Beeches, an unequalled fragment of
forest scenery, have found employment for the pencils of numberless artists,
and often formed a favourite ramble of the poet Grey during his residence at
Stoke Poges.
Lower Bovenet, a chapelry in the parish, is situate 2 miles W. from Eton.
The chapel of ease is dedicated to St. Mary. The population in 1861 was 152.
Cippenham is a retired hamlet, situate 2 miles W. from Slough.
