The beautiful village of Englefield Green in northern Surrey is undoubtedly one of England’s premier residential locations. Situated near Egham and Virginia Water on the edge of Windsor Forest, Englefield Green provides residents with the best of both worlds, - the quiet seclusion of the countryside and amenities of Windsor and London just a few miles away.
Archeological evidence suggests that there has been a settlement at Englefield Green since the Saxon period, when it was known as ‘Inga’s Field’. The area was largely agricultural with a small community until the 18th century, when large houses were built in the area for aristocrats who wanted to live in this increasingly fashionable area. Brunel University and Royal Holloway University are now located nearby, bringing additional academic prestige to the area.
With the Royal family just a few miles away at Windsor, Englefield Green became a particularly desirable area and maintains this reputation today. Former residents of Englefield Green include Michael Caine, Robbie Williams and Marilyn Monroe, who spent an extended honeymoon here with Arthur Miller.
