Parish Boundary Changes of 2007

On 1st October 2007 the new parish of “Tilehurst St Catherine and Calcot St Birinus” was formed from segments of the two earlier parishes “Tilehurst St Catherine of Siena” and “Calcot St Birinus”.  The changes to their original boundaries were as follows :-

  • The part of the former St. Birinus Parish, south of the A4, joined with Southcote St. Matthew.
  • The part of the former St. Birinus Parish, east of Langley Hill, joined Tilehurst St. Michael.
  • The part of the former St Catherine’s Parish, north east of Dark Lane, joined Tilehurst St. Mary Magdalene.
