Kilsby is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England. It is situated a short distance south of the border with Warwickshire approximately five miles southeast of Rugby. The parish of Kilsby, which includes Barby Nortoft, was estimated to have a population of 1,268 in 2020.

History

Kilsby’s name comes from Anglo-Saxon cildes + old Norse býr, literally meaning “child’s dwelling”, but “child” here probably means “young nobleman”. Its church, St Faith’s, may originally have been the daughter chapel of the neighbouring parish of Barby.

The parish’s eastern side is bounded by the old route of the Roman Watling Street, and the village itself is sited on the crossing of two former mediaeval drove-routes.
