Odney

Odney is a common in the Thames, part of the civil parish of Cookham, in the English county of Berkshire, and occupies most of the Formosa Island eyot.

[1] It lies immediately east of the village of Cookham and south of the River Thames, and is located approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) North of Maidenhead.

Geoffrey Eastop (1921–2014) spent a year working at the pottery early in his career as a potter.

[4] This fine mid-18th century country house was once rented by Colonel Francis Ricardo, the first car owner in Cookham, who was High Sheriff of Berkshire in the early 1900s and supposedly the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame's Toad in the 1908 children's book The Wind in the Willows.

A property on the site is known to have existed from as early as the 13th Century, when the house was owned by the De Lullebrook family.
