Farley Hill is a village in the county of Berkshire, England. [1] [2] For local government purposes, the village is within the civil parish of Swallowfield, which in turn is within the unitary authority of Wokingham. [3]
The village has three fine country houses: Farley Court, Farley Hall and Farley Castle. [4]
The red brick church of St John the Evangelist, Farley Hill, was designed by George Truefitt and built in 1890-92. [5] It closed at the end of 2012 after draft closure scheme was set in motion by the Church Commissioners. [6] After a community use for the church could not be found, it was sold and converted to become private housing in 2016. [7]
Farley Hill has a King George's Field in memorial to King George V. Farley Hill also has a village hall, The Victory Hall, donated to the inhabitants in 1919 by William Bishop of Farley Court.
