Woodcote Village Green was laid out in 1903, with whipping post, stocks and see-saw. A flock of geese was installed on the pond which was situated at the south west corner opposite the smithy and village inn, The inn was "a pub with no beer" but a blacksmith was installed in the smithy as estate blacksmith from 1904 till the out-break of war in 1914. The green was situated at the south west corner of the Woodcote Model Village, which together with the adjoining Webb estate is a conservation area.
