Hampton on the Hill is a very small village in the county of Warwickshire, in the district of Warwick. The village neighbours the larger village of Budbrooke. In the 1640's a force of five thousand Royalist horse and foot soldiers paused at Grove Park to rest. The Parliamentarian supporter, Lord Brook in Warwick, was aware of their arrival and, with seven thousand men, met the Royalists. After some 'negotiations' the Royalist forces marched away - joining the King and his army at Coventry.
