Welcome to Lower Quinton

Lower Quinton is a small village located in the county of Warwickshire, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles south-west of Stratford-upon-Avon and has a population of around 1,500 people. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Swithin's Church and the 16th-century Lower Quinton House.

One of the most notable events in Lower Quinton's history is the infamous murder of Charles Walton in 1945. Walton, a local farm laborer, was found dead in a field with his throat slit and a pitchfork embedded in his chest. The murder remains unsolved to this day and has become the subject of numerous books and documentaries. Visitors to the village can still see the spot where Walton's body was found, which is marked by a small memorial stone.

Despite its small size, Lower Quinton has a strong sense of community and is home to a number of local businesses and amenities. These include a village hall, a primary school, a post office, and several pubs and restaurants. The village also hosts a number of events throughout the year, including an annual carnival and a Christmas market. With its picturesque setting and rich history, Lower Quinton is a charming and welcoming place to visit or call home.
