History There are several prehistoric burial mounds in the parish and the Roman Road called the Camlet Way is supposed to have crossed the Thames here somewhere, on its way from St. Albans to Silchester. King Alfred later made Sashes Island one of his burhs to help defend against Viking invaders. There was an Anglo-Saxon nunnery at the church and, later, a female hermit. In the Middle Ages, most of Cookham was owned by Cirencester Abbey and the timber-framed 'Churchgate House' was apparently the Abbot's residence when in town. The Tarry Stone - still to be seen - marked the extent of their lands.
