The Eton Wick that so many remember with pleasure and nostalgia was a long, straggling village divided between the two parishes of Eton and Boveney. Yet this pre-war village was only one of many faces the village had taken on in its long history of growth and change, though maybe the changes had never followed each other so rapidly as in the last two centuries.
