Mortimer West End Before the mid-nineteenth century when parishes were only ecclesiastical, Stratfield Mortimer was a cross-county parish: the Hampshire part was known as Mortimer West End. It became in the Church of England an ecclesiastical parish in 1866 and acquired its own civil parish in 1894. A faint vestige of this is that Stratfield Mortimer ecclesiastical parish today includes Wokefield Common and a small uninhabited fraction of Mortimer West End. Amenities The village includes the Cinnamon Tree Indian restaurant (formerly the Fox and Horn and prior to that, the Railway Inn public house), St Mary's Church of England parish church, Mortimer St. John's Infant School, Mortimer St. Mary's Junior School and the headquarters of the Berkshire Federation of Women's Institutes.
