Burchetts Green is a small village to the west of Maidenhead in Berkshire, two miles south of the River Thames. It is lies between Hurley and Bisham (whose civil parishes are drawn to carve Burchetts Green up between them).

The Berkshire College of Agriculture is here and it includes Hall Place, which was built in 1728 by William East, a wealthy London lawyer.

Burchetts Green School was originally built as a chapel in 1868 on land donated by the Clayton-East family. It is an infant school with around 50 pupils.
