A Very Short History of Thatcham
10,000 BCE
Evidence of semi-nomadic settlers suggest the first people to move to Thatcham arrived 12,000 years ago in the Palaeolithic era.
200 – 300
Further digs uncover pottery, tiles and coins, revealing the presence of a Roman settlement around Henwick Lane and Roman Way.
1086
The village gets a mention in the Domesday Book, when the population consisted of 35 villagers, 12 smallholders and 60 swine.
1125
Thatcham is granted a market. Traders at nearby Newbury are not happy and things come to a head in 1160 when the noisy neighbours storm the town and rip down the stalls, sparking a feud that rumbles on for centuries.
1348
The Black Death (bubonic plague) ravages the town, decimating the population. While other towns make a faster recovery, the market and local businesses go into a steady decline.
1748
The very first Royal Mail coach changes horses at the King’s Head. The pub is still pouring pints to this day.
1847
Following coaches and the canal, steam rail is the next big advance in transport when a station is opened on the Berks and Hants Line running from Reading to Hungerford.
1917
Once again, the town suffers, this time due to rationing during WWI as tea becomes unavailable for two whole weeks!
1942
Camp 1001 opens at Crookham Common to house German prisoners of war. It remains open until 1948.
