<br>
No, it isn't absolutely clear. A part of Wokingham was in a detached part<br>
of Wiltshire that stretched from Wokingham to Hurst, as can be seen on old<br>
maps, and there are two existing relics of this. <br>
<br>
One is a metal boundary marker just opposite the church that says Wokingham<br>
Berks on one face and Wokingham Wilts on the other. It's not in its<br>
original position, which was a couple of hundred yards away in Cross<br>
Street. It was moved when Cross Street was re-aligned. See:<br>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/20814240@N00/3329044546">http://www.flickr.com/photos/20814240@N00/3329044546</a><br>
<br>
The other is that unusually, All Saints church has three churchwardens,<br>
instead of the usual two (Rector's Warden and People's Warden). We have<br>
one for the Berkshire Division, one for the Wiltshire Division and one for<br>
the Town Division. Every other year the Rector nominates two and the Vestry<br>
elects one and in the intervening years the Rector nominates on and the<br>
Vestry elects two.<br>
