Littlewick Green, nestled between Maidenhead and Twyford, is a tranquil village with a rich history dating back to Roman times. The presence of architectural treasures such as Foxleigh and Walnut Tree cottages, both dating back to the 15th century, adds to the village’s allure. Notably, it was home to Ivor Novello, and Redroofs, where he lived and composed many of his famous works, still stands as a testament to the village’s cultural heritage.
