Whittlebury is a small village of 210 houses set on the edge of the royal hunting forest of Whittlewood. The earliest settlement has been traced to the Iron Age, and King Athelstan held court in Whittlebury in c930AD.

Our rural legacy can still be found today - we have many mature trees and views over the countryside surrounding Whittlebury, and in particular the woods, parkland and deer park to the south of the village.

Our community in Whittlebury has been active in recognising and protecting our heritage for future generations to enjoy, through the Appraisal and Design Statement.
