It is a large suburb of Maidenhead with most of its housing west of the A404(M) Maidenhead bypass and south of the A4 road. The remainder of this area is rural. The parish has an urban boundary with Woodlands Park to the southwest and a rural boundary with White Waltham parish to the west. HistoryThe original village was ecclesiastically a hamlet under Bray church that had a nucleus by Cox Green Lane, Cox Green Road and Norden Road, south of the railway (see map of 1945 here). Parts of this are now outside the current parish boundary. The second half of the 20th Century saw a rapid expansion of housing, including Woodlands Park to the west, and Cox Green is now part of the wider urban area of Maidenhead.[2][3] GeographyCox Green has a site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) on the South border of the village, called Great Thrift Wood[4] Amenities and listed buildingsSchools in the area include Lowbrook School and Wessex Primary School, both catering for ages up to eleven Year 6 and Cox Green School, for children aged 11–18. Cox Green School shares a site with the adjacent Community Centre on Highfield Road, providing such local facilities as a library and both indoor and outdoor sports facilities. Additional leisure facilities exist at Ockwells Park, where as well as sports fields, an open park and a local nature reserve, there is a well-stocked outdoor children's play area, and an indoor soft-play area and cafe.[5] The parish church, Church of the Good Shepherd, is in the Community Centre in Highfield Road. The oldest building in the parish is Ockwells Manor by Ockwells park which once belonged to it. A Roman Villa was discovered from aerial photographs in the 1950s and was fully excavated in 1959 in advance of the building of the present housing estate.[6] Nearest placesMaidenhead (town centre) 3 miles, Reading, Berkshire 12 miles, Windsor 8 miles References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11122395&c=Cox+Green&d=16&e=62&g=6398396&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1480521213178&enc=1|title=Civil Parish population 2011|accessdate=30 November 2011|publisher=Office for National Statistics |work=Neighbourhood Statistics}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43187 |title=The hundred of Bray: Introduction and map |author=P.H.
