Wormleighton is a small, quiet village and civil parish in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, in the English Midlands. Sitting near the county boundary with Oxfordshire, it occupies gently rolling farmland above the Cherwell valley and feels very rural, with fine views across arable fields and pasture that reflect a long agricultural tradition.
Historically the village is notable for its association with the Spencer family and the remnants of the old manor and medieval church that hint at a more prominent past; many of the grander connections later centred on Althorp. Today Wormleighton has a small, close-knit community with few services of its own, so most employment and social life involve farming or short commutes to nearby market towns such as Banbury and the cultural attractions of Stratford-on-Avon, England.
