Nestled just a few miles from central Rugby, Dunchurch is a large village bursting with character, history and charm. First mentioned as Don Cerce in the Domesday Book of 1086, the village's signposts hark back to its medieval origins. The conservation area at the heart of Dunchurch is a living testament to the village's past, with many buildings dating back to the 15th century presenting an architectural delight for history enthusiasts.

The village was once a bustling hub for travellers, playing host at the intersection of important coaching roads between London and Birmingham and Oxford and Leicester. Evidence of this past can be found in the remaining coaching inns, the 'Dun Cow' and 'The Green Man'. Not least among its claims to fame, Dunchurch once provided refuge to the Gunpowder Plotters in a bid to kidnap Princess Elizabeth in 1605. Other significant visitors included Queen Victoria, the Duke of Wellington, and notable engineer Robert Stephenson.

Community life is a vibrant highlight of Dunchurch. From the sounds of the local Dunchurch Silver Band ringing through the air to the devoted congregation filling the three churches, the village holds a rich tapestry of life and activity.

When to visit Dunchurch

The rain-kissed landscapes of Dunchurch sparkle brightest from late June to late August. It's during this period that the weather provides a delightful mix of warm days and clear skies, perfect for outdoor pursuits or simply enjoying a relaxing sip of Pimm’s in one of the village's picturesque gardens.

July typically boasts the warmest days, while the dry season, from February to May, offers a refreshing respite from Britain's notorious showers. Those who prefer a quieter trip should consider visiting outside of the peak season, though Dunchurch's beauty is worth braving the rain, particularly in December when the village is adorned with festive cheer.
