Stretton Baskerville is a tiny, largely rural civil parish within the borough of Rugby in Warwickshire, England. It sits amid rolling farmland and quiet country lanes and has a very small population with few services of its own, so everyday amenities and social life tend to be found in neighbouring villages and the nearby town of Rugby.
The parish has historic roots reaching back to the medieval period and retains an agricultural character - arable fields, hedgerows and scattered farmsteads dominate the landscape. A handful of older buildings and traditional field patterns give it the secluded charm typical of small Warwickshire parishes, while economically life is largely centred on farming and commuting to larger centres for work.
