Haseley is a small village and former civil parish in Warwickshire, England. It is four miles north-west of the county town of Warwick and nine miles (14.5 km) south-east of Solihull, now in the parish of Beausale, Haseley, Honiley and Wroxall, created on 1 April 2007.[1] The village is on the A4177 and, as it is only five miles (8 km) from the M40 motorway, is easily accessible . Haseley proper, along with Haseley Knob, Haseley Green and Waste Green, consists mainly of detached houses spread over a large area, giving the parish a very low housing density. The 2001 census recorded 207 residents living in 92 dwellings. It is an affluent area, with an average house price of around £277,000 (about $367,325).[2] Due to this and its proximity to the tourist towns of Warwick and Stratford upon Avon, several large and highly rated hotels are around the village.

Haseley Manor, a Grade II-listed country house,[3] formerly the staff college for the British Motor Corporation and its nationalised successor British Leyland,[4] now consists of luxury apartments.[5] The parish church, St Mary's, is medieval in origin and revealed evidence of its original decoration during restoration work some years ago.

Notable people

Job Throckmorton (1545-1601), a Puritan campaigner, lived at Haseley. In June 1589, he and John Penry installed a printing press in his house to print three "Marprelate tracts" attacking the episcopacy.[6]

Sir James Sawyer lived at Haseley Hall from 1891 to 1919.
