Thornton Hough Village Green

Thornton Hough Village Green has won the Green Flag Award every year since 2004 and is the traditional ‘green’ for the attractive country village of Thornton Hough. Thornton Hough village was built to form a part of the estate of the former Lord Leverhulme, owner of the famous Port Sunlight soap works. The village consists of a fine example of mixed architectural styles with construction dating from the turn of the century. The buildings are full of character and range from ornate red brick cottages to black and white two and three storey half-timbered Tudor style terraces. Two fine sandstone churches, the village school, a public house and the village smithy also compliment the village. They all combine to present a quintessential English village setting.

Thornton Hough Village Green, covering 3.3 hectares is at the hub of village life. It provides a venue for soccer, cricket, tennis and children’s play and has a picturesque half timbered, thatched roofed sports pavilion. The refurbished play area is very popular and provides a safe and enjoyable environment for children to play. Informal recreational activities are also very popular and locally organised events take place on a regular basis. The visual aspect of the green is exceptional.
