Ufton Richard / Ufton Greys / Ufton Greyshall

Kelly's Directory of Berkshire (1883) notes: "There were once two churches here: the remains of Greyshall, consisting now only of the fragment of a wall, may be seen just below the village, about a mile from existing church, within an enclosure formerly a cemetery, and adjoining the Kennet. The register dates from the 1636. The living is a rectory". The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 3, 1923) notes: "There were originally two churches in Ufton. [...] The advowson of St. John Baptist in Ufton Richard was held from an early period by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, [...] the earliest presentation recorded being in 1297. [...] it was nevertheless [this parish], which ceased to exist in 1434–5, which eventually gave its name to the joint living, now known as the rectory of Ufton Nervet. [...] Below the village on the north side is the site of the former church of Ufton Richard, the gabled west wall of which still stands; it is of flint intermixed with a little brick and has been refaced with brickwork at its ends; no windows or architectural details survive to mark its date."
