Long
Itchington is in Stratford-on-Avon
district of Warwickshire,
England. The village is located around two miles north of Southam upon the A423 road. Just south of the village is the Grand Union Canal. The village is named after the River Itchen which flows to the south and west. The village lies six miles due east of Leamington Spa on the Coventry to Banbury road, close to Southam. It got a mention in the Doomsday Book as a place of more importance than Coventry. In the 2001 census Long Itchington had a population of 2,161 Long Itchington is mostly made up of 20th century developments, but includes several historic buildings, including the half-timbered "Tudor House" on the main road. Queen Elizabeth I is said to have stayed there in 1572 and 1575. The old "Manor House" in the Square dates from the 15th century. St Wulfstan is said to have been born in Long Itchington in around 1012, he became Bishop of Worcester in 1062. Other notables born in the village include the journalist Tom Hilditch. The village was once served by the former Weedon to Leamington Spa railway line. The village station was half way between Long Itchington and Southam, and was therefore known as "Southam and Long Itchington" station, but this closed to passengers in the late 1950s. Part of the old railway line has been converted into a cycleway as part of the National Cycle Network. South of the village is a former cement works, which closed in the 1990s but still remains in place.Quarrying at the site however still continues. Opposite the old cement works is a small "Model Village" which was built to house the workers
