ABOUT STRETTON UNDER FOSSE
Stretton-under-Fosse, a hamlet of about 70 houses, straddles the B4027 Lutterworth to Coventry Road with a few outlying houses in Smeaton Lane and some isolated farms at its northern edge. There is a small industrial area near the canal, The Wharf, and a boat hire business on the canal at Stretton Stop. The community lies between the larger villages of Brinklow and Pailton in an area which is known locally as The Revel, named after the ancient manor of Newbold Revel, originally called Fenny Newbold until it came into the ownership of Hugh Revel in the 13th century.
The hamlet is built in a hollow beneath the ridge of the Fosse Way to the north which cuts through the farmland and journeys along the rather bleak higher ground towards Leicester. The Oxford Canal forms part of the parish boundary to the south, about a mile from the centre of the village and the M6 motorway runs under the Fosse Way again to the north in a nice juxtaposition of ancient and modern transport systems which make Stretton a popular location for commuters.
Until relatively recently there were two working farms in Stretton, a public house - the Union Jack - and a small shop. These have all now disappeared but the village is served by Malt Kiln Farm Shop, many small industries are established at The Wharf, Rose Narrowboats boat building and holiday boat hire runs a thriving business at Stretton Stop and Newbold Revel hosts the national Prison Officer Training College. The Village Hall enables residents to socialise locally. There is no church in the village but residents can worship at any of the Revel Group of Churches in the neighbouring villages.
The many acres of farmland are mostly arable, with some livestock, and there are areas of light woodland altogether creating an interesting environment for ramblers and naturalists that is criss-crossed by a network of footpaths.
