Dunchurch is a large village about three miles south‑west of Rugby in Warwickshire, England, clustered around a spacious village green and a tight-knit historic centre. It sits within easy reach of the main road and motorway network, which has helped it evolve into a popular commuter settlement while retaining a distinctly rural feel.
The village is known for its coaching‑inn heritage - including the historic Red Lion - and for an often‑told link to the Gunpowder Plot, when conspirators reputedly met in the village. Visitors and residents appreciate the mix of listed buildings, the parish church, regular village events and active social life, alongside a modest local economy of shops, pubs and small businesses.
