About Barkham
Barkham evolved as a thinly populated agricultural community characterised by a landscape of scattered farmsteads. A village centre never developed. The Parish Church to the southeast of Barkham Street is relatively isolated, whilst the sole public house, The Bull, is half-a-mile distant at the northern end of Barkham Street.
The Bull Inn at Barkham is named after the Bullock family of Barkham and Arborfield who were Lords of both Manors for several centuries. When in Barkham, they lived in the manor house, Barkham Court that was once surrounded by the old moat next to the church. Here can be seen the late 13th century wooden effigy of Agnes Bullock, daughter of Sir Thomas Neville, from whom the family inherited this estate. Their ancestor, William Neville, was the valet to St. Thomas Cantilupe, the Bishop of Hereford, who sold him the manor in 1279. Another great family of the parish were the Kingsmills who, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, lived at Sydmonton Court in North Hampshire. Their original home was Langley Pond Farm - erroneously called Langley Manor in Barkham.

Barkham is essentially a "dormitory" village with the majority of the adult residents commuting from the parish to their place of work in Wokingham, or elsewhere in the Thames Valley or in the London area. The proportion of "home workers" and retired inhabitants is increasing. Local employment within the parish, apart from the military establishment at Arborfield Garrison is very limited. Arborfield Garrison the eastern part, including the military facilities and most of the army housing, is actually in Barkham. The number of houses in Arborfield Garrison that are within Barkham is approximately 290.
