Old Woughton
Old Woughton (/ˈwʊftən/ WUUF-tən) is a district and civil parish in south central Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. The parish was established in April 2012, by the division into two parts of the historic "Woughton on the Green" civil parish.
Woughton-on-the-Green is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086.
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 parish was created following a campaign by residents of (what was then) Woughton on the Green (parish), who petitioned Milton Keynes Council in 2010. The Council originally rejected the proposals, however it agreed to instigate a further review. The proposal was reconsidered by Milton Keynes Council in November 2011 who decided to split the Woughton parish into two and establish a new parish from April 2012 The new parish was given the temporary name of 'Ouzel Valley' and elections to the parish council were held in May 2012. At the first meeting of the nine-member parish council on 9 May 2012 the name of Old Woughton Parish was adopted. (The remainnder of the original parish retained the name "Woughton on the Green" until January 2025, when it changed its name to simply Woughton.)
The parish includes the areas of Woughton on the Green, Woughton Park and Passmore. The boundaries of the parish run from the Netherfield Roundabout (H8/V8), south along the V8 (Marlborough Street) to a point where it intersects a redway north of Tinkers Bridge, then east along the redway to the Grand Union Canal, then south along the Canal to a point where it intersects H9 (Groveway), then along H9 (Groveway) to a point where it intersects the River Ouzel, then north along the River Ouzel to a point where it intersects H7 (Chaffron Way), then west along H7 (Chaffron Way) to a point where it intersects the Grand Union Canal, then south along the Grand Union Canal to a point where it intersects H8 (Standing Way), then west along H8 (Standing Way) to the Netherfield Roundabout (H8/V8).
