context_page_description: Shrivenham is a village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, about 5 miles southwest of Faringdon. The village is close to the county boundary with Wiltshire and about 7 miles east-northeast of Swindon. The 2011 Census recorded the parish population as 2,347.
  Shrivenham is located within the historic boundaries of Berkshire. The 1974 boundary changes transferred the Vale of White Horse to Oxfordshire for the purposes of administration.
context_section_description: The main country estate in Shrivenham is the Beckett Estate. In the 17th century it was the home of Henry Marten, the regicide. Later the Barrington family owned the estate and lived at Beckett Hall. The family and estate gave their names to Great Barrington, Massachusetts and Becket, Massachusetts.
  Charlotte, the second wife of the 8th Viscount Barrington, endowed the memorial hall in the village: it was opened in 1926 by Princess Beatrice, daughter of Queen Victoria. The hall and surrounding playing fields, known as Viscountess Barrington's Memorial Hall & Recreation Ground, are on Highworth Road.
