Places to see in ( Wallingford - UK )
Wallingford is an ancient market town and civil parish in the upper Thames Valley in England. Historically in Berkshire, it was transferred to Oxfordshire for the purposes of administration in 1974. Wallingford is situated 12 miles (19 km) north of Reading, 13 miles (21 km) south of Oxford and 11 miles (18 km) north west of Henley-on-Thames.
The town's royal but mostly ruined Wallingford Castle held high status in the early medieval period as a regular royal residence until the Black Death hit the town badly in 1349. Empress Matilda retreated here for the final time from Oxford Castle in 1141. The castle declined subsequently, much stone being removed to renovate Windsor Castle. Nonetheless the town's Priory produced two of the greatest minds of th...

The History of Wallingford, CT
A quintessential New England town that almost 45,000 people call home. Wallingford was established as a village in 1667 and was officially recognized by the CT General Assembly as a town of Connecticut in 1670.
In the 1700's, Wallingford continued to build its historical resume with the likes of George Washington coming to town (not once, but TWICE), the birth place of Lyman Hall (signer of the Declaration of Independence) and more!
In the 1800's, the town saw the Silver industry play a big role in Wallingford's growth and importance. We saw the likes of our train station erected on current day Colony Rd along with many other buildings constructed around town that we still use today.
By the 1900's, this town was seeing a rapid growth in population as it had become one of the most desir...

Places to see in ( Wallingford - UK )
Wallingford is an ancient market town and civil parish in the upper Thames Valley in England. Historically in Berkshire, it was transferred to Oxfordshire for the purposes of administration in 1974. Wallingford is situated 12 miles (19 km) north of Reading, 13 miles (21 km) south of Oxford and 11 miles (18 km) north west of Henley-on-Thames.
The town's royal but mostly ruined Wallingford Castle held high status in the early medieval period as a regular royal residence until the Black Death hit the town badly in 1349. Empress Matilda retreated here for the final time from Oxford Castle in 1141. The castle declined subsequently, much stone being removed to renovate Windsor Castle. Nonetheless the town's Priory produced two of the greatest minds of the age, the mathematician Richard of Wallingford and the chronicler John of Wallingford.
Wallingford is on the west bank of the River Thames downstream of Oxford and lies at the foot of the Chilterns. On the opposite bank are the villages of Crowmarsh Gifford and Newnham Murren, connected to the town by Wallingford Bridge, a 300 yard long medieval stone bridge crossing the river and adjacent flood plain. At southern end of the town is the settlement of Winterbrook. The town bypass crosses the river to the southwest over Winterbrook Bridge.
Wallingford grew up around an important crossing point of the River Thames. The place has been fortified since at least Anglo-Saxon times, when it was an important fortified borough of Wessex with the right to mint Royal coinage. It was enclosed with substantial earthworks by King Alfred the Great in the 9th century as part of a network of fortified towns known as burhs or "burghs" to protect Wessex against the Vikings.
Wallingford Castle was built soon afterwards and became a key strategic centre for the Empress Matilda's party during the civil war that began after her father Henry I's death. After the fall of Oxford Castle to Stephen in 1141, Matilda fled to Wallingford, according to some historic accounts in the snow under a moonlit sky.
Wallingford flourished as a trading centre throughout most of the Middle Ages, and Wallingford Priory produced two of the greatest minds of the age, the mathematician Richard of Wallingford and the chronicler John of Wallingford. After the opening of Abingdon Bridge in 1416 the town went into economic decline.
The River Thames has been a transport route for centuries and Wallingford's growth as a town relied partly on it. Coal was supplied from North East England by coaster to London and then by barge upriver to Wallingford. This supply could be unreliable in seasons when river currents were too strong or water levels were too low. In 1789 the Oxford Canal reached Oxford from Warwickshire and the Duke's Cut at Wolvercote gave it a connection to the Thames.
On 2 July 1866, the Wallingford and Watlington Railway was opened between Cholsey and Wallingford. Its relative speed and reliability enabled it to take a large share of goods previously carried on the Thames. Unfortunately, two months earlier, in May 1866, the Overend, Gurney & Co bank had crashed causing one of the severest financial crises of the 19th century.

A quintessential New England town that almost 45,000 people call home. Wallingford was established as a village in 1667 and was officially recognized by the CT General Assembly as a town of Connecticut in 1670.
In the 1700's, Wallingford continued to build its historical resume with the likes of George Washington coming to town (not once, but TWICE), the birth place of Lyman Hall (signer of the Declaration of Independence) and more!
In the 1800's, the town saw the Silver industry play a big role in Wallingford's growth and importance. We saw the likes of our train station erected on current day Colony Rd along with many other buildings constructed around town that we still use today.
By the 1900's, this town was seeing a rapid growth in population as it had become one of the most desirable areas in central Connecticut. This town is rich with its history! Cheers to another 350 (+2) years of Wallingford.
