Regional Information
At the heart of the ancient rural landscape of the Midlands is Wellesbourne, a village of approximately 6,500people set six miles west of Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Wellesbourne is first mentioned in historical records as Welesburnan in 840 AD and later as Waleborne in the Domesday Book. The village is an amalgamation of Wellesbourne Mountford and Wellesbourne Hastings, which, while sharing a church, for many years retained a separate identity. During the Industrial Revolution Wellesbourne suffered a collapse in population. Since the mid 20th century the village population has increased and Wellesbourne now enjoys a new lease of life as a commuter settlement.
