Stretton under Fosse is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Rugby, in Warwickshire, England. Its name records its situation beside the ancient Roman route, the Fosse Way, and the village retains a quietly historic character with traditional brick and stone cottages, hedged lanes and a largely agricultural setting.
Life in Stretton under Fosse is typically village-centred: a close-knit community, a handful of historic buildings and attractive countryside, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Rugby and Coventry. The combination of Roman-road heritage and tranquil rural landscape makes it a pleasant example of Warwickshire’s quieter villages rather than a centre of industry or commerce.
