Coughton, Warwickshire
Coughton 〔(Coughton Court official web-site ) Accessed 2 July 2010〕 is a small village located between Studley to the North and Alcester, to the South, in the county of Warwickshire, England. The village lies from Birmingham on the Birmingham–Alcester A435 road, which here follows the line of the Roman Icknield Way.
The village mainly consists of a number of houses on Sambourne Lane, Coughton Lane and farms and is primarily noted as being the location of the National Trust property, Coughton Court, which lies 400 yards to the east of the A435. The population according to the 2001 census was 139.〔(Warwickshire County Council - Census 2001 Parish Profile, Coughton )〕
==Etymology==
The name may suggest a settlement or farm known for the hunting of woodcock or game birds, However, the prefix Cock- is not uncommon in place-names, but its meaning is doubtful.〔(melocki.org.uk/places ) Accessed 2 July 2010〕 The name is spelt Coctune in the Domesday Book.〔Domesday Book for Warwickshire, Phillimore edited by John Morris ISBN 0-85033-141-2〕 It is generally found on or near hills, say Napier and Stevenson. It may be a personal name, Cocca; it may be the name of the bird; or it may (as in Old Norse) mean 'throat,' which would geographically be 'a narrow gorge, valley, or pass'.〔
