On its south-eastern side, the parish of Enborne adjoins the Wash Common district of Newbury. The boundary between the two formerly ran along a Bronze Age trackway which cut north-south across the common, dividing it into Enborne Wash (about one third) and Newbury Wash (two thirds). In 1934, the town boundary moved a few hundred yards westwards to the road (Enborne Street), thus taking the whole of the former common (which was by now undergoing development) into Newbury. Wash Common was never a civil parish, and only became an ecclesiastical parish (created from bits of St Michael's (Enborne) and St John's (Newbury) in 1963.
