Aldermaston, Civil parish in West Berkshire, United Kingdom.
Located in the Kennet Valley, Aldermaston village stretches across meadows and woodlands, with traditional English buildings made from local materials throughout its streets.
The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded Aldermaston with a mill and fisheries, when the settlement belonged to William the Conqueror after the Norman invasion.
The parish church displays an alabaster monument from 1530 depicting Sir George Forster and his wife, along with notable hatchments of the Congreve family.
The village sits at equal distances of 8 miles from the larger towns of Reading, Newbury, and Basingstoke, providing residents access to urban amenities.
Aldermaston maintains one of only eleven remaining candle auctions in England, where bidding continues until a pin drops through a burning tallow candle.
