Cox Green, Berkshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cox Green is a civil parish in the Windsor and Maidenhead district of Berkshire, England. The parish is bounded by the A4 road to the north, the A404(M) motorway to the northeast, the M4 motorway to the southeast and a rural boundary with White Waltham parish to the west. The original village was located in the area of Cox Green Lane, Cox Green Road and Norden Road, south of the railway (see map of 1945 here). Parts of this are now outside the current parish boundary. The second half of the 20th Century saw a rapid expansion of housing, including Woodlands Park to the west, and Cox Green is now just a suburb of Maidenhead.
The parish church, Church of the Good Shepherd, is located in the Community Centre in Highfield Road.
The oldest building in the parish is Ockwells Manor.
A Roman Villa was discovered from aerial photographs in the 1950s and was fully excavated in 1959 in advance of the building of the present housing estate [1].
