Juniper Hill was named after the common juniper, Juniperus communis, which originally grew in the area.[1] In 1754, there were only two cottages in the area,[1] but on the 1841 census there are 16 households in the village, and by 1901 25. The local inn, established about 1860, was the Fox.[1]

Flora Thompson was born in Juniper Hill in 1876. She fictionalised the hamlet as Lark Rise in her Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy.
