This little village, just about 2 miles south of Maidenhead town centre, has a few claims to fame of its own.

The name "Holyport" is from the Old English "horig" + "port", meaning 'muddy or dirty market-town'. The first element had become 'holy' by the end of the 14th century.

It has one of the world's few "real tennis" courts (Royal County of Berkshire Real Tennis Club).
It was also the home of the prestigious stables of Horace Smith, later known as Smith's Stables, where Queen Elizabeth II rode with her sister Princess Margaret in their younger years.
