Billesley Manor dates from c.1610 and is a grade II* listed building.^[1] It is now operating as a hotel, and claims that a room in the building is the location in which Shakespeare's As You Like It was written.^[2] Authority for this is modern and originated in a claim in 1976 in Folklore of Warwickshire by Roy Palmer.^[3] The play is understood to be first performed in 1599^[4] a decade before the building's stated date of construction in around 1610.^[5]

The settlement has a church: Church of All Saints. The church is not registered for marriages and comes under the Parish of Wilmcote. Of particular interest to architectural historians are the traditional closed family pews, as well as the miniature lofts; the church itself is of 18th century design.
