The parish of St Nicholas sits at the heart of the village of Hurst in the borough of Wokingham, Berkshire. It centres on a historic parish church with medieval origins and later Victorian restorations, set among winding lanes, farmland and a handful of listed buildings that testify to a long rural past.
Today the area is largely residential with small local businesses and farms and a lively village community that organises church events, fêtes and clubs; many residents commute to nearby Reading or London. Its proximity to the River Loddon and the surrounding Berkshire countryside gives the parish a quiet, semi‑rural character popular with families and walkers.
