Stretton-under-Fosse is a village and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire. In the 2021 census the population of the parish was 206.[1]
The village is located just east of the Fosse Way former Roman road, and just south of the M6 motorway. It contains a number of old cottages along its main street. Just outside Stretton is an old manor house, Newbold Revel, which is currently used as a training college for prison officers.[2] Just south of the village is the Oxford Canal and a canal arm leading to Stretton Wharf.[3]
Between 1847 and 1957, the village was served by nearby Brinklow railway station on the West Coast Main Line, which was originally known as Stretton station.[4]
Stretton means "settlement on a Roman road" (from the Old English stræt and tun). In this case the road is Fosse Way.
There are 9 listed buildings by Historic England.[5] These include several houses in Main Street and a cast iron canal bridge.
