Village Green

 

Whitchurch Village Green is situated in an idyllic setting at the end of Eastfield Lane. It is home to the Whitchurch on Thames Cricket Club.

For ninety years, from 1921 to 2012, the land was the private property of the Whitelock family who generously encouraged its use for cricket.  However in the latter part of this period several unsuccessful applications were made to develop the land for housing.  In 2012 Whitchurch Parish Council acquired it on behalf of the community, adding a car park and a junior football pitch.  The consideration in the deal was permission to build one house on the land. 

The Village Green is managed by a Parish Council working group which includes representatives of the cricket club, the football club, the primary school and WoTHabs. The Terms of Reference for the Village Green Working Group have been published.

The latest Village Maintenance Schedule which includes the grass cutting for the Village Green is here.

The Village Green Calendar, listing booked events, can be seen here. The Cricket Club fixture list is here.

To book the Village Green for your function or activity, or to make enquiries about the Green, please contact the Parish Clerk.
