Wappenbury is a village and parish in the Knightlow hundred of Warwickshire.
Located on the north bank of the River Leam Wappenbury is almost entirely inside the ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort.[1] The population details can be found under Eathorpe. The nearest town is Leamington Spa, some five miles to the south west of Wappenbury.
The parish church is dedicated to St John the Baptist. During the Second World War its vicar was the notable British religious minister, folklorist and author William Purcell Witcutt. Roman pottery and kilns have been found in the village; which is only a mile from the Fosse Way.
