Maidenhead history

---

Maidenhead is recorded in the Domesday Book as the settlement of Ellington in the hundred of Beynhurst. The area of the present town centre was originally a small Anglo-Saxon town known as “South Ellingon” The town would have likely developed on the Camlet Way on the site of Alaunodunum as the Bath Road was not re-routed until the 13th century. The current Maidenhead Bridge, a local landmark, dates from 1777 and was built at a cost of £19,000.
