The Rose Inn, Willoughby The Rose is the only thatched building in the village. Before 1460 it was known as the Red Rose, but at the time of the Wars of the Roses, the name was abbreviated. An inglenook chimney in the old bar area includes a deep baking oven, suggesting the building may once have been used as a bakery. The inn was severely damaged by fire in December 2007 but has since been fully restored.

In one of those strange anomalies that afflict the UK road network, the stretch between Daventry and Dunchurch within Warwickshire is restricted to 50mph whereas the stretch in Northamptonshire, which is generally narrower and more sinuous, has the national 60mph limit.
