About

Wilmcote and Great Alne are rural parishes situated a few miles northwest of Stratford-upon-Avon. The area is characterised by farmland, quiet country lanes, and scattered settlements. Wilmcote is best known as the childhood home of Mary Arden, William Shakespeare's mother, with the associated farmstead now a museum. The landscape is gently rolling, with the River Alne flowing through the southern part of the parish near Great Alne village itself.

The local economy has historical connections to agriculture, though many residents now commute. Great Alne has a traditional village centre with a parish church, pub, and primary school. A notable feature is the presence of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, which passes through the area, including a notable cast iron aqueduct at Wootton Wawen nearby. The overall atmosphere is one of a quiet, residential countryside setting with strong historical links.
