Datchet, Slough
Facts and practical information
Datchet is a village and civil parish in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England, located on the north bank of the River Thames. Historically part of Buckinghamshire, and the Stoke Hundred, the village was eventually transferred to Berkshire, under the Local Government Act of 1972. The village developed because of its close proximity to Windsor and the ferry service which connected it to the main London Road across the River Thames. The ferry was later replaced by a road bridge at the foot of the High Street, which was rebuilt three times, a rail bridge approaching Windsor across the river, and two road bridges above and below the village.The name "Datchet" is thought to be Celtic in origin, and the last part may be related to cet. In the Domesday Book it is called "Daceta". ()
