Stretton-under-Fosse

Newbold Revel refers to an existing 18th-century country house and a historic manorial estate in North East Warwickshire. In the fifteenth century, the estate was the home of the medieval author Sir Thomas Malory. The house is today used by HM Prison Service as a training college; it is a Grade II* listed building. Historically, the Newbold Revel estate and house formed a significant part of the parish of Monks Kirby. Today the country house is in the modern parish of Stretton-under-Fosse, in the borough of Rugby. The current house was built in 1716 for Sir Fulwar Skipwith, 2nd Baronet and was constructed of brick in three stories to an H-shaped plan with an 11-bay frontage. In the late 19th century the ground floor was extended forwards.

Brinklow railway station was a railway station almost midway between Brinklow and Stretton-Under-Fosse in the English county of Warwickshire, opened in 1847 on the Trent Valley Line. Until 1870 it was known as Stretton or possibly Streeton It was also described as Brinklow for Stretton Under Fosse in some timetables. Although line opened in September 1847, full services including those from Brinklow did not begin until 1 December of that year. Initially the station had two platforms, but the traffic along the line was such that an up third line was opened on 14 August 1871. Initially a goods line, it was upgraded in June 1876, when presumably the third platform was added. In 1899 permission was given to quadruple the track between Rugby and Nuneaton. However, with more powerful locomotives coming into use, the work was only partly carried out. The station was next to the B4027 road, with the booking office on the overbridge and covered staircases down to each platform on which passenger facilities were limited to a shelter on the down platform. There were two long sidings, one with a loop which passed through a goods shed.At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway. There were six down and five up trains each day in 1895, which had reduced to four down and three up in 1946. The station closed to passengers on 16 September 1957 and for goods on 20 February 1961. There was a signal box which was removed when Rugby Power Signal Box was opened in 1964. The station buildings, platforms and sidings have disappeared, though the entrance road is still present with a barrow crossing which leads to nowhere.

Hungerfield is a hamlet in the parish of Easenhall in the borough of Rugby in the County of Warwickshire in England. Hungerfield is a small collection of four houses roughly located around bridge 35 of the North Oxford Canal in Easenhall. It is believed that the place gets its name from the clay soil it inhabits.There is no record of Hungerfield's existence as a place prior to the Enclosure of the 1700s; it is believed to have been created as part of the enclosure of Easenhall undertaken by the Skipwith family. There is no record of when this was carried out but evidence from a number of sources suggest sometime around 1760. Prior to this the area had operated the Open-field system of which evidence remains. Many of the surrounding fields have much of the traditional ridge and furrow pattern surviving under the current pasture.The first written record of Hungerfield as a place comes from a survey by the Oxford Canal Company in 1829. The company commissioned the survey to show land ownership for the company's canal shortening programme.
