Bedfont Green ⁹²⁷⁴

Brief Description

Bedfont Green fronts the medieval church of St Mary the Virgin and forms the setting of Burlington House, to the south of which there was once a pond.

History

Bedfont was a small isolated hamlet dating back to medieval times, surrounded by Hounslow Heath. It was formerly more tree-covered, particularly with horse chestnuts but many were lost in the hurricanes of 1987. Fairgrounds used to be held here, particularly during Ascot Week as the route to the racetrack was through the village.
