Flower Delivery to Sonning – A Village and Civil Parish in the Borough of Wokingham

Situated on the River Thames, the village of Sonning has been described by Jerome K. Jerome in Three Men in a Boat as “the most fairy-like little nook on the whole river.” Located in Berkshire county, the village is just a few miles east of Reading.

The parish includes Sonning, Charvil and Sonning Eye. The River Thames forms the north-western boundary before it passes the middle of the Thames Valley Park. The southern border of the parish follows the railway line while the north-eastern boundary travels over Charvil Hill then follows the edge of the housing at Charvil before reaching the confluence of St Patrick's Stream with the Thames. The northern portion of the parish is mostly low-lying land that adjoins the River.

History

Sonning's name is derived from the Old English Sunna and older villagers still pronounce the village's name this way. During the Anglo-Saxon times, the village was a lesser centre of the bishopric of Ramsbury thus making it of considerable importance. The village was an important stopping post for travellers, both on the road and by boat, and this contributed to its being prosperous.
