Clay Coton is a village and parish in Northamptonshire. The population of the civil parish (including Elkington and Stanford-on-Avon) at the 2011 census was 271.[1] The nearest large town is Rugby, Warwickshire, about seven miles away by road. The village is close to the M1 motorway with its junction (known as Catthorpe Interchange with the M6 and A14 road which runs very close to the north.
The village is dominated by the mediæval former church of St Andrew. Built in 1340, it was restored by Edmund Francis Law in 1866 but fell into disuse in the 1950s and was renovated as a private house in 2000. However, the surrounding graveyard still has public access.[2]
Until 2002, despite the small size of the village, it included a pub, called the 'Fox and Hounds'; Like the church, it has now been converted to a private house.
