A suburban style village on the western side of Warwick. Handy for the new Warwick Parkway station. This is a village that's reinvented itself in the 20th century, with the village name in olde script up by the isolated parish church a short way north but only a couple of farms and houses nearby. Budbrooke was an ancient village decimated by the Black Death in the 14th century and remained home to only a few people until the 1960s when a new housing development called Hampton Magna was built on former military land. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budbrooke
