Loxley est un petit village du Warwickshire situé sur une colline, à 5 miles de Stratford-upon-Avon, et faisant face à la vallée de l'Avon.

L'église St Nicolas est située au pied de la face Nord de la colline sur laquelle repose Loxley. Elle a été un lieu de culte dès le VIIIe siècle. Certaines des sculptures de cette église sont certainement saxonnes. La tour de l'église, généralement fermée au public, a été construite au XIIIe siècle.

Loxley est le lieu de naissance de Robin des Bois ou Robin de Loxley. L'histoire de Robin des Bois que nous connaissons découle de trois versions différentes.
