Your probably right. Most likely one of daft local stories created to big up the area. I was going by this:

What I do know for a fact though, is that it takes a bloody long time to drive to the coast in any direction, especially with 2 whinging kids in the car
The Vikings believed Daventry was the centre of England. They planted a tree to mark this, the ‘Dane Tree’, hence the name Daventry.
It was once believed that Weedon Bec in Northamptonshire was the centre of England. An old military installation still exists there, built as an Ordnance Stores Depot to protect weapons and ammunition from the invading French. A branch from the Grand Union Canal was constructed to supply the Depot.

A place called Lindley Farm, in the paddock area.
More than one centre of England then, depending on who you believe & what your interests are I guess...
