Horton, a Berkshire village, breathes a quiet charm under the wide English sky. It lies 4.7 km north of Egham (from Egham: bearing 6°T, OS grid TQ 013 759), and is situated south-west of Colnbrook village. The village is known for its connection to the poet John Milton, who is believed to have written parts of 'Paradise Lost' whilst residing here.

Horton's church, St. Michael and All Angels, stands as a modest but enduring landmark, its ancient stones holding the quiet stories of centuries.
