Combe Fields

Combe Fields is a civil parish in the Rugby district, in the county of Warwickshire, England.

The parish has no village, but contains Coombe Abbey, after which it is named, and a few isolated houses.

The business park is on the former site of Ansty Aerodrome, a military airfield in operation from 1936 until 1953 and primarily used for training.

[3][4] To the south of Ansty Park is a Rolls-Royce factory that manufactures components for aircraft engines.

[6] At the time of the Domesday Book the parish was called Smite,[7] which contained two settlements of Upper and Lower Smite; these were both deserted in the 12th or 13th century when Monks from Coombe Abbey enclosed the fields to create sheep pastures.
