Lilbourne

Lilbourne is a village in the Daventry district of the county of Northamptonshire in England.

It is close to the M1 motorway which runs past the village, and the A5 road, east of the village. Just outside Lilbourne is the River Avon and the remains of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle. The local church is earlier still, with parts being of Saxon origin.

No. 73 Squadron RAF was stationed at Lilbourne during World War I.

Lilbourne once had a railway station on the former LNWR line from Rugby to Market Harborough which closed in 1966, one of thousands of rural stations and lines which were closed by the Beeching Axe.
