Binfield Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Binfield

---

Binfield history

---

The name Binfield derived from the Old English beonet + feld and means “open land where bent-grass grows” The surrounding forest was cleared after the Enclosure Act of 1813 when Forestal Rights were abolished and people bought parcels of land for agriculture. Binfield continued to flourish until the development of Bracknell New Town.

Historic country houses

Binfield Manor is currently owned by the Sultan of Brunei. An old story of uncertain origin claims that the Abbots of Reading Abbey established a retreat at Elm Grove. The street name Monk’s Alley (which runs westwards from Binfield House) is supposed to survive from that association.

Alexander Pope in Binfield

Alexander Pope lived at what is now called Pope’s Manor in Popeswood with his parents when he was young. He sang in the local church choir.
