Background
History
A Congregational church was built in 1881 in place of an older chapel. The inclosure of the two parishes of Sulhamstead Abbots and Sulhamstead Bannister was made by an act of Parliament, which was effective in 1817. Grazeley was a tithing in the parish of Sulhamstead Abbots which contained 519 acres. In 1854, when the manorial estate of Grazeley was advertised for sale, it was inclosed in a ring fence and apparently included the whole tithing. On 15 August 2019, Sulhamstead was the location of the killing of Andrew Harper, a police officer of the Thames Valley Police Roads Policing Unit, who was responding to reports of a local burglary.
