Warren Row is a village in Berkshire, England, and part of the civil parish of Hurley.
The settlement lies between the A321 A4 and A4130 roads, and is located approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-east of Henley-on-Thames.
It contains a green Tin tabernacle church.[1]
History[edit]
Warren Row was formed by a few group of cottages on the boundaries of three estates - Hall Place, Rosehill and Park Place.[2]
St Paul's Mission, the Tin Tabernacle Church of the village, was built in 1894 and was purchased for just over £100.[3]
During World War II the local chalk pits were used as an underground factory.[4]
Between 1958 to 1961 a secret bunker was built in the chalk mines as the village had been identified as a Regional Seat of Government in case of nuclear attack on London.[5] The bunker was discovered in 1963 by a few anti-nuclear protesters, who refereed to themselves as 'Spies for Peace'.[6]
