Wootton Wawen, in Warwickshire, takes its name from “Wootton” (settlement by a wood) and “Wawen, ” after the Saxon lord Wagen. The village has very early origins: Around 723–737 ad, King Æthelbald of Mercia granted land here for a minster church, making St Peter’s one of the oldest churches in the county, with surviving Anglo-Saxon fabric.

By the time of the Domesday Book (1086), Wootton was a sizeable estate with mills, woodland, and farmland. After the Norman Conquest, it was granted to the Abbey of Conches in Normandy, becoming the site of a small Benedictine priory. Through the medieval period, Wootton remained an important parish, though parts of the village later shrank or shifted.

In the post-medieval era, Wootton developed around farming, milling, and later industry. The grand Wootton Hall was built in 1687 and still stands today. Transport shaped the village: The Stratford Canal (1816) brought trade and its cast-iron aqueduct remains a landmark; the railway followed in 1908.

Today, Wootton Wawen is a conservation village known for its ancient church, timber-framed houses, and historic landscape, reflecting over 1,200 years of continuous settlement.
