The Church of St Peter in Wolfhampcote Wolfhampcote is an abandoned village in eastern Warwickshire, England, the old village gives its name to a civil parish which includes the nearby villages of Flecknoe and Sawbridge, in 2001 the parish had a population of 263.
The old village of Wolfhampcote islocated west of the A45 road near Braunston in Northamptonshire, and can be reached by a track from the main A45 road, or from a lane from Flecknoe. The village was abandoned sometime in the late 14th century, probably due in part to the Black Death.
Today the only remains of the village are a cottage, a farmhouse, and the old vicarage, located some distance away. The most notable surviving feature of the village is the church of St Peter, which stands apparently in the middle of nowhere in a field. The church has restored on several occasions most recently in the 1970s by an organisation called the "Friends of Friendless Churches". The church is today used only once or twice a year.
The area around the old village is rich in industrial archeology, the remains of the original route of the Oxford Canal which was abandoned in the 1830s can be traced, through the area. There is also the remains of two abandoned railway lines, the first being the old Weedon to Leamington Spa railway, which closed in 1963, and the second being the Great Central Railway which closed in 1966. The former passes quite close to the church.
