Birdingbury
Birdingbury is a
village and
civil parish in the
Rugby district of
Warwickshire,
England, just south of the
River Leam, and not far from
Draycote Water. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 327.
It is located roughly half way between
Rugby and
Leamington Spa, about eight miles from each.
Birdingbury consists mostly of 20th century developments, but "Birdingbury Hall" dates back to the early 17th century, and was rebuilt in
Jacobean style in
1859 following a major fire.
St Leonard's Church in the village is partly
Victorian and partly
Georgian.
Birdingbury once had a railway station on the former Rugby to Leamington Spa railway line, which was located around one mile north of the village. The old railway line has been partly converted into a
cycleway as part of the
National Cycle Network
