Frilsham and Marlston

These villages, united in one parish, stand little more than a mile apart in the wooded country of the upper reaches of the little River Pang.
Frilsham's cottages, manor house (rebuilt in 1896) and mill house centre upon the church whose dedication is to St Frideswide, the Saxon princess who became an abbess at Oxford.
The church retains Norman features and has a Jacobean pulpit and reader's desk.
To the east is Frilsham Common, the most populous part of the parish and include a recreation ground and village hall. Here it was said to be the St Frideswide's Spring whose waters cured eye troubles.

Down the road, at Marlston is a small church that was almost wholly rebuilt in 1855 to Butterfield's designs.
Marlston House was built in the 1890s for the Palmers, the biscuit making family of Reading.
