W A R F I E L D is an extensive parish 2 m iles from
the Bracknell station on the London and South Western

west from Windsor, in the Eastern division of the
county, hundred of W argrave, Wokingham petty
sessional division, union of Eastham pstead, county
court district of Windsor, rural deanery of Maidenhead,
archdeaconry of Berks and diocese of Oxford. Por­
tions of the parish were assigned to the consolidated
chapelry of Bracknell, October 24th, 1851. The church
of St. Michael and A ll Angels is an ancient building
of stone in the E arly English style, of which it is con­
sidered a fine specim en; it consists of chancel, nave
of four bays, north aisle, south porch and an embattled
western tower containing c b e lls ; the church was
thoroughly restored in 1876 under the direction of the
late G. E. Street esq. R.A. at a cost of about £3,000,
raised by subscription; the interior is relieved by a
very handsome carved oak screen with delicate tra c e ry ;
it contains also a monument to Sir John Benn Walsh
hart, of Orm athwaite, Cumberland, who died June 7,
1825, apd several other fine monuments of some
an tiqu ity: there are 270 sittings. The churchyard was
wholly closed against interm ents January 1, 1867; a
new portion was added to the burial ground in 1887.
Of the earlier register, dating from 1666, only copies
now exist, the originals h a v r g been destroyed by fire
*n 1833. The living is a vi irage, net income £120,
with 16 acre's of glebe and res dence, in the gift of Mrs.

Littlewood, and is at present (1911) v acan t: the vicar­
age house was erected in 1862. There is a Gospel Hall
here and an undenominational chapel at Moss End, be­
longing to the Fifield mission. T he 61 acres of fuel
allotment have been sold and the invested funds pro­
duce about £60 yearly for f u e l; a sum of £30 from
several charities is also distributed. W arfield Park is
occupied by the Hon. A rthur Henry John Walsh C.V.O. ;
