Budbrooke

[2] The original parish dates from 1086 (Domesday Book) when Ralph de Limesi held Budebroc for William the Conqueror.

The track which now passes under the railway arch known as Kyte's Bridge was the most likely route for the corpses being taken from the village to Dead Field on Hatton Hill.

When the old village declined, the centre of the parish moved to Grove Park, the home of the Dormer family who were granted the manor in 1608.

During the English Civil War, a force of five thousand Royalist horse and foot soldiers paused at Grove Park to rest.

The Parliamentarian supporter, Lord Brook in Warwick, was aware of their arrival and, with seven thousand men, met the Royalists.

The Roman Catholic church of St Charles Borromeo was built by Lord Dormer and given to the parish in 1819.

The barracks site was remembered in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of VE and VJ Day, which were held in the parish on 10 September 2005.

In 2019, Warwick District Council released land adjacent to Hampton Magna from the green belt to allow extra housing to be built onto the existing village.

Today, three units remain: a combined Post Office, newsagent and mini mart; a beauty salon; and The Open Door, a Christian cafe, meeting centre and fair trade products shop sponsored by St. Michael's Church.

Their club crest is the same as Budbrooke Primary School's, the famous Antelope which is the Royal Warwickshire Regiment insignia.

They currently play in Tracey Thomas Leamington Spa and District Sunday Football League 2.

Located about half a mile north-east of Hampton Magna, it provides direct rail services to both London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street, via the Chiltern Main Line.

The station primarily serves as a park and ride facility for the wider area, but is also used by local residents.
