West Ilsley, less than 9 miles southeast of Sparsholt, a parish in the hundred of Compton, county of Berks, 2 miles west northwest of East Ilsley… and 4.85 miles northeast of Chaddleworth. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Berks, and diocese of Salisbury… and in the patronage of the Dean and Canons of Windsor. The church is dedicated to All Saints. Here are two extensive breweries, the beer of which has obtained great celebrity. The learned Mark Antonio de Dominis, Archbishop of Spalatro, was presented to this rectory by James I.; and, in the reigns of Charles I. and II., Calybute DOWNING, a celebrated divine, was rector… Note: Early West Ilsley records are stored at the Bodleian Library at Oxford rather than the Archdeaconry of Berks.
