Henwood is a Berkshire hamlet a little to the north of Wootton and within its civil parish.

Historically Henwood was a single farm in the parish of Cumnor, until Wootton was created a separate parish in the 19th century.[1] Since then there has been ribbon development along the B4017 road.

Henwood Farmhouse dates back to the 17th century. It is a Grade II Listed Building.[2]
