Description
Conservation Area designated in 1971 (B1).
About half a mile to the north-west of Wooburn there is a second village, distinguished as Wooburn Green. The houses and cottages, some of which, including the Bull Inn and Red Cow Inn, are of the 17th century, are grouped round a triangular green of about 1½ acres, sheltered on all sides by hills. On the right of the road leading north-west there are brick-works and a gravel-pit. Near the station on the Wycombe, Thame and Oxford branch of the Great Western railway there is a chalk quarry. The Baptists, Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists each have a chapel at Wooburn Green (B2).
'Wooburn Green' is marked on OS maps from 1812 onwards (B3).
