[[File:EnglandBerkshireNumbered.png|thumb|right|A map of [[Berkshire]], showing the districts: (1) [[West Berkshire]]; (2) [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]]; (3) [[Wokingham (borough)|Wokingham]]; (4) [[Bracknell Forest]]; (5) [[Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead|Windsor and Maidenhead]]; and (6) [[Slough]]]]
This is a list of [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]]es in the [[ceremonial county]] of [[Berkshire]], [[England]].
A [[civil parish]] is a subnational entity, forming the lowest unit of [[local government in England|local government]] in [[England]]. There are 104 civil parishes in the [[ceremonial county]] of [[Berkshire]], most of the county being parished; [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]] is completely unparished; [[Bracknell Forest]], [[West Berkshire]] and [[Wokingham (borough)|Wokingham]] are entirely parished. At the 2001 census, there were 483,882 people living in the 104 parishes, accounting for 60.5 per cent of the county's population.


===History===
==[[Bracknell Forest]]==
Parishes arose from [[Church of England]] divisions, and were originally purely ecclesiastical divisions. Over time they acquired civil administration powers.<ref name=anguswinchester>Angus Winchester, 2000, ''Discovering Parish Boundaries''. Shire Publications. Princes Risborough, 96 pages ISBN 978-0747804703</ref>
The whole of the borough is parished.


The [[Highways Act 1555]] made parishes responsible for the upkeep of roads. Every adult inhabitant of the parish was obliged to work four days a year on the roads, providing their own tools, carts and horses; the work was overseen by an unpaid local appointee, the ''Surveyor of Highways''.<ref>[http://www.racfoundation.org/files/British%20Highways%20Development%20Before%20Motorways.pdf RAC Foundation : ''What Went Wrong? British Highway Development Before Motorways''] Retrieved 22 August 2009</ref>

The poor were looked after by the [[monastery|monasteries]], until their [[Dissolution of the Monasteries|dissolution]]. In 1572, magistrates were given power to 'survey the poor' and impose taxes for their relief. This system was made more formal by the [[Elizabethan Poor Law (1601)|Poor Law Act 1601]], which made parishes responsible for administering the [[Poor Law]]; overseers were appointed to charge a [[rates (tax)|rate]] to support the poor of the parish.<ref>[http://www.victorianweb.org/history/poorlaw/plintro.html The Victorian Web : ''The Poor Law : Introduction''] Retrieved 22 August 2009</ref> The 19th century saw an increase in the responsibility of parishes, although the ''Poor Law'' powers were transferred to [[Poor Law Unions]].<ref>[http://www.staffs.ac.uk/schools/humanities_and_soc_sciences/census/unions.htm Staffordshire University : ''Poor Law Unions and Registration Districts''] Retrieved 22 August 2009</ref> The [[sanitary district|Public Health Act 1872]] grouped parishes into Rural Sanitary Districts, based on the Poor Law Unions; these subsequently formed the basis for [[Rural District]]s.<ref>[http://vision.edina.ac.uk/types/status_page.jsp?unit_status=RSD A Vision of Britain Through Time : ''Status Details for Rural Sanitary District''] Retrieved 22 August 2009</ref>
==[[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]]==
The former [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading County Borough]] is unparished.


Parishes were run by [[vestry|vestries]], meeting annually to appoint officials, and were generally identical to ecclesiastical parishes,<ref>Robert Tittler, ''The Reformation and the Towns in England'', 1998, Oxford University Press, 395 pages, ISBN 9780198207184</ref> although some [[township (England)|township]]s in large parishes administered the ''Poor Law'' themselves; under the [[Divided Parishes and Poor Law Amendment Act 1882]], all [[extra-parochial area]]s and [[township (England)|township]]s that levied a separate rate became independent civil parishes.<ref name="surname">[http://homepages.newnet.co.uk/dance/webpjd/offstats/regevents.htm Modern British Surnames : ''Selected Events in the History of Civil Registration and Boundary Changes 1801-1996''] Retrieved 22 August 2009</ref>
==[[Slough]]==
The former [[Municipal Borough of Slough|Slough Municipal Borough]] is unparished.


Civil parishes in their modern sense date from the [[Local Government Act 1894]], which abolished [[vestry|vestries]]; established elected parish councils in all rural parishes with more than 300 electors; grouped rural parishes into Rural Districts; and aligned parish boundaries with county and borough boundaries.<ref name="surname"/> Urban civil parishes continued to exist, and were generally coterminous with the [[Urban District]], [[Municipal Borough]] or [[County Borough]] in which they were situated; many large towns contained a number of parishes, and these were usually merged into one. Parish councils were not formed in urban areas, and the only function of the parish was to elect guardians to Poor Law Unions; with the abolition of the ''Poor Law'' system in 1930 the parishes had only a nominal existence.<ref>Alex MacMorran and T R Colquhoun Dill, ''The Local Government Act 1894 and the Subsequent Statutes Affecting Parish Councils'', 1907, Butterworth and Co, London, 626 pages</ref>

* [[Wexham|Wexham Court]] <sup>4</sup> <ref name="Definition" />


The [[Local Government Act 1972]] retained civil parishes in rural areas, and many former [[Urban District]]s and [[Municipal Borough]]s that were being abolished, were replaced by new successor parishes; urban areas that were considered too large to be single parishes became [[unparished area]]s.<ref name="act">[http://www.uk-legislation.hmso.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukpga/1972/cukpga_19720070_en_1 Office of Public Sector Information : ''Local Government Act 1972''] Retrieved 22 August 2009</ref>
==[[West Berkshire]]==

A civil parish is a subnational entity, forming the lowest unit of local government in England. There are 104 civil parishes in the ceremonial county of Berkshire, most of the county being parished; Reading is completely unparished; Bracknell Forest, West Berkshire and Wokingham are entirely parished. At the 2001 census, there were 483,882 people living in the 104 parishes, accounting for 60.5 per cent of the county's population.

History

Parishes arose from Church of England divisions, and were originally purely ecclesiastical divisions. Over time they acquired civil administration powers.[1]

The Highways Act 1555 made parishes responsible for the upkeep of roads. Every adult inhabitant of the parish was obliged to work four days a year on the roads, providing their own tools, carts and horses; the work was overseen by an unpaid local appointee, the Surveyor of Highways.[2]

The poor were looked after by the monasteries, until their dissolution. In 1572, magistrates were given power to 'survey the poor' and impose taxes for their relief. This system was made more formal by the Poor Law Act 1601, which made parishes responsible for administering the Poor Law; overseers were appointed to charge a rate to support the poor of the parish.[3] The 19th century saw an increase in the responsibility of parishes, although the Poor Law powers were transferred to Poor Law Unions.[4] The Public Health Act 1872 grouped parishes into Rural Sanitary Districts, based on the Poor Law Unions; these subsequently formed the basis for Rural Districts.[5]

Parishes were run by vestries, meeting annually to appoint officials, and were generally identical to ecclesiastical parishes,[6] although some townships in large parishes administered the Poor Law themselves; under the Divided Parishes and Poor Law Amendment Act 1882, all extra-parochial areas and townships that levied a separate rate became independent civil parishes.[7]

Civil parishes in their modern sense date from the Local Government Act 1894, which abolished vestries; established elected parish councils in all rural parishes with more than 300 electors; grouped rural parishes into Rural Districts; and aligned parish boundaries with county and borough boundaries.[7] Urban civil parishes continued to exist, and were generally coterminous with the Urban District, Municipal Borough or County Borough in which they were situated; many large towns contained a number of parishes, and these were usually merged into one. Parish councils were not formed in urban areas, and the only function of the parish was to elect guardians to Poor Law Unions; with the abolition of the Poor Law system in 1930 the parishes had only a nominal existence.[8]

The Local Government Act 1972 retained civil parishes in rural areas, and many former Urban Districts and Municipal Boroughs that were being abolished, were replaced by new successor parishes; urban areas that were considered too large to be single parishes became unparished areas.[9]

The current position

Recent governments have encouraged the formation of town and parish councils in unparished areas, and the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 gave local residents the right to demand the creation of a new civil parish.[10]

A parish council can become a town council unilaterally, simply by resolution;[9] and a civil parish can also gain city status, but only if that is granted by the Crown.[9] The chairman of a town or city council is called a mayor.[9] The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 introduced alternative names: a parish council can now choose to be called a community; village; or neighbourhood council.[11]
