Englefield Village is one of very few fully intact estate villages left in Britain, functioning much as it always did and providing homes and jobs to local people.

At the end of the 19th Century Richard Fellowes Benyon restored and improved Englefield House, at the same time rebuilding almost all of the houses in the village and moving them to their current location along The Street as shown below.

The image below is a modern extract from Ballard’s 1762 map drawn in about 1959 by Gillian Lamperd (now Barton) from the village.
