Budbrooke history

Middle Ages

The original parish dates from 1086 (Domesday Book) when Ralph de Limesi held Budebroc for William the Conqueror. It consisted of five hides of land, a mill, farms and woods. In 1350, the village suffered from the Black Death and became a ghost town.

Early Modern period

Grove Park was home to the Dormer family who were granted the manor in 1608. During the English Civil War, a force of five thousand Royalist horse and foot soldiers paused at Grove Park to rest. The village of Hampton-on-the-Hill, on the edge of Grove Park, became the main development area of the parish.

Budbrooke barracks

The Royal Warwickshire Regiment was the senior Regiment in the ‘Midland Brigade’ Budbrooke Barracks was established on a site about half a mile to the east of Bud Brooke church. The barracks site was remembered in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of VE and VJ Day.

Creation of Hampton Magna

In the late 1960s and early 1970s the barracks site was re-developed into the “20th Century Village” of Hampton Magna. In 2019, Warwick District Council released land adjacent to the village from the green belt to allow extra housing to be built onto the existing village.
