Wallingford is a small market town and civil parish in the upper Thames Valley in the English administrative county of Oxfordshire, and the historic county of Berkshire. The centre of Wallingford has the feel of a typical old market town, with a large open town-square around the war memorial, the 17th century arcaded town hall and the church of St Mary-le-More, and flanked by numerous shops. There are some picturesque alleyways and a number of historic inns. Although only a small town, Wallingford has three ancient churches and a modern Roman Catholic church. It once had fourteen. Other amenities include the Wallingford Museum, the Corn Exchange theatre, the Cholsey and Wallingford steam railway, a number of public parks (one with a castle ruin) and the annual BunkFest folk festival. In recent years, the town has been used as a location for filming, including Midsomer Murders. Wallingford is run by a town council consisting of sixteen councillors. It is also part of the South Oxfordshire district. More on Wallingford
