Wolfhampcote

St Peter's Church is a redundant Anglican church standing in an isolated position in the civil parish of Wolfhampcote, Warwickshire, England (grid reference SP529653). Since 1960 the church and its attached mausoleum have been recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and are now under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church stands in a field which contains a number of mounds. These are partly the remains of the medieval village initially served by the church, which has been deserted village for centuries, partly from disused canal workings, and partly from the remains of a redundant railway line.

The lost village of Braunstonbury lies in low ground south-west of the village of Braunston in the English county of Northamptonshire. Its site is on the eastern bank of the River Leam, which also marks the border between Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. Adjacent to the site on the west side of the river Leam is the site of the lost village of Wolfhampcote which straddled the county border of both counties.

Braunston and Willoughby railway station was a station on the former Great Central Main Line. It served the small village of Willoughby which it was located next to, and the larger but more distant village of Braunston. The station opened with the line on 15 March 1899.

Willoughby is a village and civil parish about 5 miles (8 km) south of Rugby, Warwickshire, England. The village is about 4.5 miles (7 km) northwest of Daventry in neighbouring Northamptonshire and the eastern boundary of the parish forms part of the county boundary. Willoughby's toponym is derived from Old Norse Viligbýr meaning "willow farmstead".The parish is bounded to the south by the River Leam and to the west by one of its tributaries. The village is just west of the main road between Daventry and Coventry, now the A45 road. The 2011 Census recorded a parish population of 398.

Braunston London Road was one of two railway stations that served the village of Braunston in Northamptonshire, England. The station was built on the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line on an embankment next to the village's wharf on the Grand Union Canal after the demolishing of a number of houses and a pub that were in the way.The station opened along with the Leamington extension of the Weedon line on 1 August 1895. It was on a passing loop and originally had two platforms with an underpass linking them, however the second platform was later taken out of use and removed, so trains in both directions called at the same platform, although the loop was retained for goods traffic until the line closed.The station was originally known as just Braunston, however it was renamed as Braunston London Road in 1950, to differentiate it from the other station serving the village. Despite its small size, Braunston was also served by Braunston and Willoughby station on the former Great Central Main Line, which served Braunston and the village of Willoughby, which it was closer to. The line closed to passengers in 1958, and freight in 1963. Little now remains of the station, although the embankment where it stood can still be seen.

Flecknoe is a village in the Rugby district of Warwickshire, England, one mile west of the border with Northamptonshire. The village is the largest settlement within the civil parish of Wolfhampcote, and has a population of around 200. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Flachenho, probably meaning "Flecca's hill". The village is shown as Fleckno on the Christopher Saxton map of 1637. Flecknoe is quite an isolated village, it is located on a hill called Bush Hill, one mile north of the nearest main road (the A425 road Southam - Daventry road) and is connected only by narrow lanes. Flecknoe has a small church, dedicated to St. Mark, which was built in 1891. An older chapel in the village dating from 1837 is now a private house. The village formerly had a school, which is now the village hall. On the outskirts of the village is a derelict brick building which is attributed to be the remains of a Second World War camp. The village also has an Edwardian pub called the Old Olive Bush.The Grand Union Canal runs in the plain to the north of the village, which also contains the remain of the former Weedon to Leamington railway line. Flecknoe once had a railway station on this line. The station was over a mile north of the village and effectively in the middle of nowhere, consequently it was an early victim of British Railways' closure programme, the last passenger train running on 3 November 1952. However, the line survived carrying freight until 2 December 1963. To the east of the village are the remains of the former Great Central Main Line. Around half a mile to the north of Flecknoe is the tiny hamlet of Nethercote.

Braunston is a village and civil parish in the West Northamptonshire unitary authority area of Northamptonshire, England, next to the border with Warwickshire. At the 2011 Census, the parish had a population of 1,759. Braunston is situated just off the A45 main road and lies between the towns of Daventry and Rugby. Braunston is categorised by the Office for National Statistics as Suburbs and Small Towns: Suburbs There are 776 households in the village. Braunston is a hilltop village, most famous for its canal junction between the Oxford Canal and the Grand Union Canal, and associated marina.

Sawbridge is a small hamlet in Warwickshire, England. It is 4 km north-west of Daventry and 8 km south of Rugby. It is within the civil parish of Wolfhampcote, under which population details can be found. The Grand Union Canal and River Leam run nearby as did the now-defunct Great Central main line railway track. Sawbridge does not have two of the most common features of the English village, a public house or a church. It does, however, have a telephone box. In 1689, a Celtic ritual shaft-well was discovered in the village, measuring 4 feet square. At a depth of 20 feet was a large stone with a hole in the middle, used to mount a post. 24 grey ware urns stood on this stone platform, of which 12 were recovered whole and 12 had been broken. The shaft narrowed and continued in depth beyond 40 feetIn the twelfth century Sawbridge was held by Thorney Abbey; a writ of Henry I survives ordering the tenant to restore the manor of Sawbridge to the Abbot of Thorney, "and do not let me hear any complaint about injustice".

The village of Braunston Cleves or Fawcliff formerly stood north of the village of Braunston in the English county of Northamptonshire at its border with Warwickshire. It has long been a "lost village", having no standing buildings, but its position and the topography of its street and houses can be traced from the irregularities of the ground where it formerly stood. It was on the southwest slope of Cleve's Hill within Braunston parish: it appears to have been occupied in late Anglo-Saxon and early post-Conquest times. Nothing is known of why the village was deserted but it had certainly been destroyed by the 18th century.

Flecknoe was a railway station that served the village of Flecknoe in Warwickshire, England, on the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line. The station was built in a remote location in open countryside around 1.5 miles north-west of Flecknoe, it also served the small nearby hamlets of Sawbridge and Lower Shuckburgh, both within a couple of miles of the station. The station consisted of a single wooden platform with a wooden station building, which contained the waiting room and stationmaster's office. There were also some small goods sidings alongside the station.The station was opened on 1 August 1895 along with the other stations on the Daventry to Marton Junction extension of the line. It was closed during the First World War from August 1917 to March 1919. The station's remote location and low usage meant that it closed to passengers on 3 November 1952, however, the goods sidings remained open for business until October 1956. The passenger service to the other stations on the line survived until 1958, and line survived carrying freight until 2 December 1963.Nothing now remains of the station, as all of the station buildings have long since disappeared, however the cutting where the station stood is still clearly visible, spanned by a road bridge from which the site can be seen. A row of cottages which once housed railway workers stands a short distance to the north of the road bridge.

Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre is a secure school and housing unit for children and teenagers between Dunchurch and Barby, south of Rugby, in Warwickshire, England. It is next to HM Prison Onley and HM Prison Rye Hill. While designed for a capacity of 87 inmates, it currently houses around 65, a mixture of girls and boys of various ages. It is currently run by the UK subsidiary of American Private Prison Firm MTC. On 19 April 2004 a 15-year-old boy, Gareth Myatt, died while being restrained by guards at the centre, which at the time was run by G4S.Rainsbrook has been criticised for having high levels of violence between inmates and towards staff, with 587 assaults in the 6 months leading up to October 2018. Plans to reduce violence were introduced in 2017, and reportedly led to large reductions in the number of incidents. Conditions in Rainsbrook were criticised by Amanda Spielman, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector for Ofsted, in a letter to Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice Rt Hon Robert Buckland QC, published on 16 December 2020. Incidents listed included: 15-year-olds arriving at the centre were being locked in their rooms for 14 days of coronavirus quarantine and only being allowed out for 30 minutes per day. Children are supposed to have four hours per day out of their rooms. One boy was placed on an ‘incorrect management plan’ in the Reverse Cohort Unit (used to allow self-isolation) due to miscommunications about his medical vulnerabilities. Between 26 November 2020 and 10 December 2020 this child had a total of only four hours out of his room. According to DoE and DfE rules, children should complete three hours education each day in their rooms. Education work packs were issued, and children were supposed to use an electronic tablet to upload their work. Record keeping was deemed to be poor, and there was no evidence that children's education entitlement was being met.Many of these problems had already been flagged by an inspection from Ofsted, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which took place between 26 and 29 October 2020, and while action was taken, it has been deemed of an inadequate level by Ofsted and the CQC. Justice Minister Lucy Frazer commented, saying :"These findings are incredibly concerning and disappointing, particularly as MTC gave repeated assurances that they would act on previous warnings."MTC answered, stating:"Following Ofsted's initial recommendations, we immediately installed new leadership and implemented measures to improve and strengthen governance and management oversight at the centre. We recognise there is more work to do to improve the centre and we do accept more should have been done during this challenging period."

HM Prison Rye Hill is a Category B men's private prison, operated by G4S. Rye Hill has exclusively housed sex offenders since 2014. The prison is next to HMP Onley and Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre, south of Rugby, in the parish of Barby, Northamptonshire, England. However, the postal address of the prison is Willoughby, Warwickshire; therefore, most sources list the prison as in Willoughby, Warwickshire.
