Withybrook is a rural village and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire. Its population was 255 at the 2021 census, increased slightly from 242 at the 2011 census.[1]
The village is located in a valley of a small brook, which is a tributary of the River Sowe. It sits just west of the old Fosse Way, about halfway between Nuneaton and Rugby on the B4112 road, and about 7 miles (11 km) north-east of Coventry.[2] Administratively it forms part of the borough of Rugby.
The grade II* listed, village church of All Saints, dates from the 14th century.[3] It was extensively restored in 1995. There is a pub in the village called The Pheasant.[4] The village hall has a varied programme of social events throughout the year.[5]
About one mile west of the village, is the deserted medieval village of Hopsford.[6][4]
The village came to the attention of the national news in August 2005, when a local farmer Michael Boffey was killed by car thieves who were trying to steal his Land Rover. Two men from Leicester were later convicted of his manslaughter.[7]
