A short history of Thatcham
Traces of a Mesolithic community from between 8400 and 7700 BCE have turned up near Thatcham, with later evidence of Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British occupation. The name may come from a Saxon chief called Tace who may have founded a village around 500 AD, though written records from about 951 and 975 give Thaecham. Domesday Book of 1086 records the place as Taceham. In 1121 Henry I gave the Manor of Thatcham to his new Reading Abbey and in 1141 the Empress Matilda granted the church to the abbey. The Chapel of St. Thomas the Martyr, now the Old Bluecoat School, gained permission to hold services around 1304. St. Mary's church was largely reconstructed in 1857. During the Second World War the town held prisoner of war camp 1001 and floods in July 2007 affected about 1,100 properties. Of 40 listed buildings the Old Bluecoat School is Grade I and St. Mary's is Grade II*.
