Over Whitacre
Over Whitacre is a village and civil parish containing the hamlets of Botts Green, Furnace End and Monwode Lea in North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England.
The population of the parish at the 2021 census was 407. It is located near other villages, Nether Whitacre and Whitacre Heath, although Whitacre heath is actually the heath of Nether Whitacre and not a separate parish. The nearby hamlet of Furnace End probably derives its name from iron smelting furnaces owned by the Jennens of Nether Whitacre. The village today is mainly residential and agricultural, but there is some light industry.
