Shefford Woodlands is a village in West Berkshire, England, about {{convert|3|mi|0}} northeast of the market town of Hungerford. The village is in the civil parish of Great Shefford, about {{convert|1|mi}} southeast of Great Shefford village. Shefford Woodlands is about {{convert|545|ft}} above sea level in the Berkshire Downs, and just north of Junction 14 on the M4.

History

Shefford Woodlands developed where the road linking Hungerford and Wantage (later a turnpike, now the A338) crossed the Roman road of Ermin Street linking Silchester and Gloucester.

Woodlands House and the barn next to White House were built in the 18th century.[1][2] Both are now Grade II listed buildings.[1][2] The barn is a timber-framed building, originally of six bays, and enlarged in the 19th century.[2]

In the 19th and 20th centuries there were significant Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist congregations in Great Shefford parish, and Shefford Woodlands had a Methodist chapel.[3] It fell into disuse, but then in 1911 was consecrated as the Church of England church of St Stephen,[3] making it a dependent chapelry of the parish of St Mary, Great Shefford. Sunday services and St Stephen's are held once a month.[4]

Amenities

The Pheasant Inn[5] and a childcare centre[6] are just outside the village.
