Nowadays Lillington is a suburb of Leamington Spa though until 1890 was a separate village which has existed since Saxon times and is mentioned in the Domesday Book [1]. Since incorporation into Leamington Lillington has been greatly expanded with a new centre at Crown Way. The old village centre was around the parish church of St Mary Magdalene which, although rebuilt in Victorian times, still has some medieval features.
Also in Lillington is the Midland Oak. This is an oak tree (the original tree has gone but a new tree has been grown from an acorn of the original) which is supposed to be the "centre of England"*.
