Whittlebury is a small village of some 236 households and a population of 589 (2011 Census) set on the edge of the historical royal hunting forest of Whittlewood. The earliest settlement has been traced to the Iron Age, and King Athelstan held court in Whittlebury in c.930AD. Our rural legacy can still be found today with many mature trees and views over the countryside surrounding the village with, in particular, the woods, parkland and deer park on the southern edge.
The Parish Council provides your local services and we strive to make Whittlebury a better place in which to live, work and play.

PLANS FOR THE NEW WHITTLEBURY READING ROOM
For those villagers who were unable to attend either of the two recent drop-in sessions at the Reading Room or The HUG Cafe on Friday 22nd March 2019 to view the plans for the new building and to offer their comments, there are a number of documents here which will give a lot of information about the existing Reading Room, its history and recent usage, the outline plans for the new building and a questionnaire. More »
It would be much appreciated if as many people as possible could download the questionnaire, complete it and return it via the post box at the Reading Room at the latest by Sunday 14th April (and not 31st March as mentioned in the questionnaire). The results of this will assist the Renovation Committee greatly in "evidencing the need" for the new building. » Less
