Old Windsor history
Kingsbury
Old Windsor was once the site of an important palace of the Saxon Kings. The settlement is documented as a defended royal manor in Edward the Confessor’s time. Edward gave the manor to the Abbot of Westminster in 1066, but it was soon taken back into royal possession by William the Conqueror. The Saxon palace was eventually superseded by the Norman Windsor Castle.
The Beaumont Estate
First mention of the historic Beaumont Estate is recorded around the year 1300. The estate was, at the time, known as Remenham, and occupied a larger area than it does now, stretching all the way down to the river Thames. After changing hands a few times, the estate was bought by Henry Frederick Tynne who had the house redesigned in 1705.
Churches
The parish of Old Windsor contains two Church of England churches. The parish Church of St Peter and St Andrew was built on the site of a chapel attached to the hunting lodge of Edward the Confessor. The original church of St Luke was built in 1867 but after falling into disrepair, was replaced by a newer building in the 1960s.
