    Wallingford Facts – Did you know…

    1. Agatha Christie
      The world-famous mystery writer lived at nearby Winterbrook House for over 40 years and was buried at St Mary’s Church in Cholsey. Amateur sleuths can find the Agatha Christie trail, a 5-mile walk taking in sites associated with her life and works.
    2. It’s Murder!
      Agatha isn’t the only one to have ‘committed murder’ in the area. The town doubled as ‘Causton’, home of Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby, the lead character of TV’s Midsomer Murders.
    3. It’s Great!
      It was Alfred the Great who created the town as one of a series of ‘burghs’. Theses were walled or fortified towns to help keep the marauding Vikings at bay, who occupied most of northern England by this time.
    4. Dick Turpin
      According to local legend, infamous highwayman Dick Turpin was a regular at the George Inn. He would allegedly tie his horse beneath the window, so if cornered, he could jump into her saddle and make a speedy getaway. We hope he paid for his round first!
    5. Fiiiight!
      During the Anarchy, King Stephen attacked and blockaded both Wallingford Castle but couldn’t breach its defences. Trapped inside, Empress Matilda managed to sneak out and escape.
    6. Not Again!
      Stephen attacked again in 1145 and 1152. The final siege led to the Treaty of Wallingford, when Matilda agreed Stephen would be King on condition he make her son Henry, his heir. When Henry took the throne, he granted the town a charter to hold a market, ensuring it would prosper.
    7. Very Civil
      Having been repaired by King Charles, the castle was attacked again at the end of the English Civil War. Despite the fact the King had already surrendered, Colonel Blagge refused to hand it over. Eventually when his supplies ran out, he bargained for his men to be allowed to march out, proudly carrying their flags and weapons.
    8. Parli-Poopers
      To ensure it couldn’t be occupied again, the party pooping Parliamentarians tore it down. Some of the stone and timbers were eventually used to build a new wing at Windsor Castle.

    About

    Midsomer Murders, Agatha Christie, Vikings, sieges and king-makers, little Wallingford really does punch well above its weight and has been at the centre of some pivotal moments in English history.

    It was Alfred the Great who made it an important settlement. Subsequent royals have hidden in the town, run away from the town, even attacked the town. The castle may be gone, but it’s now a hive for independent shops, in particular antiques.

    Leisure

    There’s a museum, three golf courses, three riding centres, two leisure centres, one with a swimming pool, plus the Corn Exchange with live performances, music and movies. The town hosts a popular food festival but the highlight of the calendar is Wallingford Carnival.
