Studley
Studley is a large village and also civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England. Positioned on the western side of Warwickshire near the border with Worcestershire it is 4 miles (6 kilometres) southeast of Redditch and also 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Stratford-upon-Avon. The Roman road of Ryknild Street, now the A435, passes through the village on its eastern side, parallel to the River Arrow. The name originates from the Old English leah, being a meadow or field, where horses, stod, are maintained. Studley is sometimes asserted to be the biggest town in England, however, this is incorrect as it is not also the biggest village in Warwickshire. Although Polesworth as well as Bulkington are bigger, by population, they could be classed as a suburban. The UK Census 2001 reported Studley's population as being 6,624, reducing to 5,879 at the 2011 Census.
