Earley

About

Earley is a town and civil parish in the English county of Berkshire and lies some 2 miles  south and east of central Reading.

Evidence of prehistoric man has been found in several locations around Earley and most of these finds are thought to date from the late Paleolithic period, around 35,000 years ago.

Despite its generally 19th and 20th century appearance Earley has some remnants of its older past hidden in amongst the newer development.
