Padworth is a dispersed settlement and civil parish in the English county of Berkshire, with the nearest town being Tadley.

[3] The local economy in the 1920s centred on the chief crops: wheat, barley, oats and root vegetables.

[3] These remain regular crops in Padworth alongside hay meadows for livestock, horses and donkeys.

Commuting to towns, industrial, logistic and trading business centres is the most common source of employment as at the 2011 census, with for instance Reading and Newbury about 20–30 minutes away whether by rail or by access to the M4 motorway.

[1] Tadley, the nearest town, also provides a major source of retail, leisure and general high street service employment.

[3] A full descent of the manor, including its earliest known grant of 956 and during the Black Death, is provided by the fully referenced text of the Victoria County History for this parish, compiled here in 1923.

[3] A secondary manor of Padworth, Hussey's, existed under John de la Husse in the 13th century, after whom it was named.

A smaller Tudor window, with two lights on the south-east square tower façade, above the font, which does not have the entrance.

[3] Rare features include the Norman chancel arch and north and south doorways, the semi-domed apse and the 18th-century monuments.
