Charlecote is situated between Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, just off the A429 from the M40 Junction 15 towards Wellesbourne/Cirencester. Location Map The village is home of the National Trust operated Charlecote Park and has a number of other facilities for visitors. In addition a number of businesses large and small are located here, or have staff working in the village - so check to see if our businesses can serve you. The Crest you will see throughout this site - and on visiting Charlecote - is the crest of the Lucy family who have made their home here since 1189. It is described officially as 'Gules semy Cross-crosslets three Luces haurient Or'. The fish are Pike, or in French 'Luces' hence the link to the family name. The Crest can be seen on entering the village and carved into the stonework on a number of buildings around the village, and of course on the Charlecote Park estate.
