Willian is a small village in North Hertfordshire, with a population of approximately 326. Along with Norton and Old Letchworth, it is one of the original villages which the new town of Letchworth Garden City grew up around. Despite this, it retains a distinctive character.
The village has two pubs, the Fox and the Three Horseshoes, and a large pond. The original parish church, All Saints', has a tower with clocks on three sides; the fourth side is blank, supposedly so that farm labourers would not be able to tell when to leave work. This has been supplanted as the main church of the parish by St Paul's, Letchworth.
