Historically a village which existed before the time of the Domesday Book (1086), it was incorporated into the borough of Leamington in 1890.

[2] Lillington itself has two main areas – the new centre based around Crown Way which contains shops, dry cleaners and a post office.

The area was predominantly built as a council house estate from 1950 onwards, and contains three tower blocks.

The Campion Hills are the highest area of Leamington, rising to an altitude of 97m (318 ft) above OD.

Just inside Lillington, on the Leamington town centre side adjacent to the Midland Oak, is a fenced area of meadow plants in a man-made depression.

In the 1930s prehistoric elephant and woolly rhinoceros remains were found in sand and gravel pits in Cubbington Road, near the site of the present Lillington Free Church.

[3] The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady, in Valley Road next to the Public Library, was consecrated in 1963.

[18] Lillington Free Church is on the north side of Cubbington Road, close to The Holt.
