The Icknield Way passes just to the north of the village from north-east to south-west, although there is no connecting road through the hamlet itself.

Horsenden House as it was then known was garrisoned during the English Civil War for Charles I by the Royalist Sir John Denham who managed to maintain possession after the Restoration.

At the height of The Blitz during the Second World War, the insurance company Norwich Union moved their offices from Piccadilly, Fleet Street and St James' into the Manor but after the war they moved back to their London offices.

[2] Jamiroquai front man Jay Kay has owned Horsenden Manor as his primary residence since 1995 and has a recording studio, granary and garages for his top-end car collection.

The hamlet has its own tennis club, and on the same site can be found Princes Risborough's football and cricket teams.
