Long Itchington is a small peaceful village located in Warwickshire just north of Southam by the River Itchen from which it gets its name. To the east runs the Grand Union Canal.
The village boasts the biggest village pond in Warwickshire and seven public houses.
The village features a fine 16th Century Tudor House where Elizabeth the First stayed in 1572 and 1575, at that time the home of Lady Anne Holbourne, daughter of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. The old “Manor House” in the Square dates from the 15th century.
St Wulfstan, said to have been born in Long Itchington around 1012, became Bishop of Worcester in 1062. Other notables born in the village include the journalist Tom Hilditch.
