Round and About Burnham Beeches, 1883. 'Middle Pond in the Beeches; Burnham Town; Road to the Beeches; Burnham Church; The Beeches; An Artist's Hut in the Beeches; Maidenhead...The Burnham Beeches are about four miles from Slough, and five or six from Windsor, near that delightful part of the river [Thames] beginning at Taplow, extending past the woodland banks of Cliveden, towards Cookham and Marlow, the scenery of which is noted for beauties scarcely equalled in the Home Counties. The village of Burnham, called "Burnham Town" by the villagers, is distant a mile or two from the grove, which is said to be a fragment of an ancient forest. There was a mitred Abbey of Benedictine monks at this place, founded by Richard Earl of Cornwall, a son of King John, elect King of the Romans, in 1265'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
