Flecknoe is a village in the Rugby district of Warwickshire, England, one mile west of the border with Northamptonshire. The village is the largest settlement within the civil parish of Wolfhampcote, and has a population of around 200. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Flachenho, probably meaning "Flecca's hill".[1] The village is shown as Fleckno on the Christopher Saxton map of 1637.
Flecknoe is quite an isolated village, it is located on a hill called Bush Hill, one mile north of the nearest main road (the A425 road Southam - Daventry road) and is connected only by narrow lanes. Flecknoe has a small church, dedicated to St. Mark, which was built in 1891. An older chapel in the village dating from 1837 is now a private house. The village formerly had a school, which is now the village hall. On the outskirts of the village is a derelict brick building which is attributed to be the remains of a Second World War camp.[1] The village also has an Edwardian pub called the Old Olive Bush.[2]
The Grand Union Canal runs in the plain to the north of the village,[1] which also contains the remains of the former Weedon to Leamington railway line. Flecknoe once had a railway station on this line. The station was over a mile north of the village and effectively in the middle of nowhere, consequently it was an early victim of British Railways' closure programme, the last passenger train running on 3 November 1952. However, the line survived carrying freight until 2 December 1963.[3] To the east of the village are the remains of the former Great Central Main Line. Around half a mile to the north of Flecknoe is the tiny hamlet of Nethercote.[4]
