Leigh Cottage
From Lacey Green History
Research by Joan West
In 1823 Leigh Cottage did not exist.
Before 1823 there were no roads in Lacey Green village. The route from the Hughenden Valley to Princes Risborough ran through Speen, along Highwood Bottom, cut straight across the Common of Princes Risborough to the pond behind Windmill Farm. It proceeded down towards Princes Risborough joining Woodway, which was already an established route and on to the town.
After 1823 the proposed Main Road, Lacey Green was confirmed in the 1823 Enclosures of the parish of Princes Risborough.
