Dedworth is the most westerly area of Windsor in Berkshire, England.

History

The name Dedworth is formed from the words 'Dydda', a man's name, and 'Worth', a Saxon word for enclosure.[1]

Dedworth was one of three Saxon villages (the other two being Clewer and Losfield) that Windsor expanded to encompass. Dedworth predates Windsor and is mentioned in the Domesday Book[1] as Dideorde.[2]

An irregular quadrangular moat in Wolf Lane may be all that remains of the manor house of Dedworth Maunsell. The other manor in the area was Dedworth Loring, owned by the De Loring family from the time of Peter De Loring, in the early 13th century. It was possibly located to the north, where a large medieval hearth has been uncovered in the aptly named Knight’s Close.[1]

Geography

Dedworth has a local nature reserve called Sutherland Grange[3]

The parish church of All Saints is the work of G. F. Bodley (1863). It has stained glass windows by Burne-Jones, William Morris, Ford Madox Brown and D. G. Rossetti (1863-87).[4]

Dedworth has a number of shops: The Co-operative, Boots Pharmacy, Tesco, Model Shop (Mantua Model UK Ltd) and many others. There are some places to get food too such as Adis grill, Papa John's and China Garden to name a few.
