The Village of

Warren Row

Back to Home Page

Warren Row retains only one of its three original Public Houses, see right, originally The Old House at Home, and currently called The Old House. The Pheasant and The Red House (latterly The Warrener Restaurant) are now houses. Unfortunately there is no public transport so residents have to rely on the motor car to leave the village. Warren Row is famous for its extensive underground chalk pits, which were used as an underground factory during WW2, then as a Nuclear Bunker, (regional seat of government), and are now used as a Document Storage Centre and wine cellar.

The Village of Warren Row is located about five miles west of Maidenhead. It lies directly on the Knowl Hill to Henley Road and is entirely within the Parish of Hurley. It numbers some forty seven houses having grown from a collection of agricultural workers' cottages. The adjacent photograph shows the Mission Church which was constructed in 1894 on a piece of land given by Sir Gilbert Clayton East of Hall Place and built with money raised locally. Unusually it is built of corrugated iron and still retains the atmosphere of a 1930's C of E Chapel. Services are held there monthly.
