The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century.

The village of Princethorpe has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages, the village was home to a number of wealthy landowners, including the de Montfort family, who owned the nearby manor of Thurlaston.
