Despite Thomas Fuller's assertion and even allowing for the subjectivity of 'long' the statement that "but it is remarkable that none of the great Berkshire estates has remained with the same family long" is factually incorrect. Here are some examples; The Englefield Estate was owned by the same family (The Englefields) for more than 600 years (i.e. circa 950 - 1559) [1] and then with the current owners from 1635 to the present day (i.e. 381 years and counting). The Bucklebury Estate has been with the same family since 1540 [2] s tenure of 476 years. How long is long? 195.137.46.194 (talk) 11:47, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Single source[edit]
Most of the article appears to derive from a single source, which is very out of date (over 100 years old). It badly needs to be fleshed out with material from more recent sources. --- Ehrenkater (talk) 19:06, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
