Places to go

The Tudor House in Broad Street was built in the 16th century and was restored to its original state in the 1920’s. The Lucas Hospital began building circa 1663. It is a fine example of restoration architecture and is the only grade 1 listed building in Wokingham. It is noted for its fine stained glass.



The Terrace is a striking example of the old and the new. It contains the oldest house in the town dating back to the 14th century. Once known as “Le Shete” meaning the land that stands out, it is now called Shute End.

St. Paul’s church was built in 1863-64 and is an outstanding example of Victorian architecture.

The Clock House with its tower was built in 1893 to provide a parish room for St.Paul’s church. It is now business offices.

The Town Hall in the Market Place was opened in 1860 and is built in the Gothic style. It houses the Courtyard restaurant, the Police cells, a main hall with war memorial and the Council Chamber and offices.

Wokingham is justly proud of its Victorian hospital built in 1851 as the Union Workhouse for the poor and needy. It now specialises in caring for post-operative patients and older people in need of care.
