Woughton on the Green is a traditional Buckinghamshire village that is now part of Milton Keynes. It gave its name to the parish of Woughton, of which it was a part until March 2012.

By the time of the coronation of Queen Victoria, Woughton on the Green was a large village, due largely to the nearby Grand Union Canal and later to the nearby Wolverton Works that served the West Coast Main Line.

Its population peaked at 350 in 1850, declining to 150 by 1960. Today the village is a suburb of Milton Keynes, though the residents like to maintain their autonomy.

The parochial church council still meets at the ecumenical parish church of St. Mary. According to legend, Woughton on the Green was one of the bases of Dick Turpin.

His ghost, and that of his mare Black Bess, have occasionally been reported in the area. The parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin dates from the 13th century.

The tower was added in the 15th century, and the church was extended in the 19th century, adding the north porch and organ loft. The Old Swan Inn dates back to 1700.

Woughton House was built in 1813, and was the home of Major W J Levi jp of the Royal Bucks Hussars. It is now a hotel. The Methodist Chapel dates from 1867.

The Ouzel Valley Park meanders from Caldecotte Lake in south Milton Keynes to Willen Lake in the north. The park has a spacious, open atmosphere with long views.

Much of the land is farmed by The Parks Trust rearing our cattle and sheep, between the livestock you can still see the remnants of an old field system with the ridge and furrow still visible.

Incorporating the historic villages of Woolstone and Woughton, the park is bordered on its western side by the Grand Union Canal.

The Ouzel Valley Park is dotted with the remains of medieval villages and their associated fish ponds.

Some of these villages may have been wiped out by the great plague in 1686 but most were simply abandoned as people moved further from the river to avoid flooding and as increased trade reduced their reliance on fish for food.

There are interpretation boards throughout the park to help you make sense of what you are seeing. Towards the southern end of the park you can also see an undulation in the surface of the grassland.

This is 'ridge and furrow' and was caused by medieval ploughing. It demonstrates both that the riverside fields were used for medieval agriculture and also that they have not been ploughed since.

If you are interested in historical agriculture it is also well worth visiting Milton Keynes Museum at Wolverton.

Ouzel Valley Park is home to the Community Orchard which is located in Woughton on the Green just south of the Olde Swan between the Newport Road and the Canal.
