Dunsden Green
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dunsden Green (also known as Dunsden) is a village in the English county of Oxfordshire.
The village is part of the civil parish of Eye & Dunsden, with the villages of Sonning Eye and Playhatch, at the very southernmost tip of Oxfordshire, between the towns of Reading and Henley-on-Thames. Before 1866, it formed part of the Oxfordshire section of Sonning civil parish.
All Saints Church is located away from the main part from the village in a rural setting. Close by is the vicarage. It was here that the World War I poet Wilfred Owen lived from September 1911 to February 1913. He worked as a lay assistant to Rev. Herbert Wigan during this period.
The Loddon Brewery operates from a converted two hundred year old traditional brick and flint barn at Dunsden Green Farm.
