Childwickbury is a small hamlet, but perhaps its greatest claim to fame is its association with legendary film director Stanley Kubrick.

The Childwickbury Estate can be accessed via a grand gatehouse on Harpenden Road.

From the 13th to the 19th century, Childwickbury Manor had among its owners a St Albans bailiff, an MP, the mayor of the city and the High Sheriff of Hertfordshire.

The latter two owners were members of the Toulmin family, who also provided and funded a school in the late 1850s and in 1867 built the church of St Mary's on Childwick Green.
