Charles Dickens mentions the place in "Oliver Tiwst" as does Jerome.K.Jerome in "Three men and a boat",Its mentioned in the Domesday book as having 5 Ploughs and rendering £6 a year,Diana Dors and Adam Faith lived here,I saw Hugh Grant in the local bakers once,theres a sky TV news-reader lives a few streets away,not that thats indicative of anything.Hampton Court Palace is a stones-throw away,Windsor castle isnt so far,lots of local history really,and as the village is on the Thames I take the kids to see the swan-upping every July I didnt even want to live here actually,I wanted Milton Key
