The village comprises 15 cottages, plus the old estate office, forge, school house, farm, and the old laundry.

There has been some kind of settlement at Walton, on the little river Dene, between the Fosse Way and Wellesbourne, since the Iron Age times.

There is strong evidence that in many areas of England taken over by Germanic speaking settlers, the native British (Wealas) remained undisturbed, farming the same land they did when the Romans left.

Over time they just adapted to the new conditions and forgot their Celtic tongue (similar to Old Welsh/Cornish) for the language and culture of the newcomers in order to climb the social ladder, or were coerced to do so.

It was in the Anglo Saxon interest that the native British carry on as usual to ensure the economy produced food and goods for the new landowners.
