Bulkington
Bulkington is a large village and former parish in the Nuneaton and Bedworth district of Warwickshire, England.〔OS Explorer Map 232 : Nuneaton & Tamworth: (1:25 000) :ISBN 0 319 46404 0〕 In the 2001 census it had a population of 6,303.〔(Warwickshire County Council - Census 2001 Ward Profile )〕 It is located around north-east of Coventry, just east of the towns of Nuneaton and Bedworth and south-west of Hinckley. Despite historically having stronger links with Bedworth, Bulkington forms part of the Nuneaton Urban Area.
Bulkington was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Bochintone, meaning "estate associated with a man called Bulca".〔Mills, A. D. (2004) "A Dictionary of British Place-Names", Oxford: OUP〕 The parish originally contained seven hamlets, two of which were subsumed by Bulkington village following residential building expansion which began in the 1930s.〔Bulkington Conservation Area Appraisal & Management Proposals November 2008 (2008) pp. 4,9 (Bulkington Conservation Area )〕 Historically the main industry in Bulkington was ribbon weaving.〔Salzman, L. F. (ed) (1951) 'Parishes: Bulkington', A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 6: Knightlow hundred, pp. 48-57 (Available Here )〕 Today Bulkington is largely a commuter village for larger nearby urban centres such as Coventry, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Hinckley and Leicester.
Bulkington has connections with the locally born author George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), who knew the village well. She referred to it as ''Raveloe'' in her book ''Silas Marner'' (1861). The church of St James is where George Eliot's uncle and aunt are buried.
