Princethorpe is a small village on the southern edge of the borough of Rugby in Warwickshire, England. Set amid rolling Warwickshire countryside and farmland, it lies a short drive from the market town of Rugby and is within easy reach of Coventry and Leamington Spa, making it a quiet rural spot with good commuter links.
The village is best known for Princethorpe College, occupying an impressive former priory whose Victorian architecture is a local landmark and a focus for concerts and community events. Historically tied to a Catholic convent and rural agriculture, the area today remains largely residential with a farming hinterland; a close-knit social life is maintained through the school, parish activities, village groups and occasional fairs and open days.
