History

It is believed the property was originally called Crosses Farm and one of the premier properties in the area at the time, it served traffic coming up from London to Bath. When the first road bridge was built at Maidenhead between 1772-77 however, Burnham’s through traffic declined. Magnolia Cottage is adjacent to Grenville Court which was once occupied by Lord Grenville (related to William Pitt). It was he who ordered the moving of the road away from his home, meaning that Crosses Farm could no longer be seen from the main thoroughfare. So the property is now tucked away in a quiet private lane.
