Clopton is a small village and civil parish located in North Northamptonshire, close to the Cambridgeshire border.

The village stretches along the north side of the B662 and was recorded in the Domesday Book as 'Clotone'.

[1] The Village Church of St Peter was built in about 1863 by Richard Armstrong.

Before her marriage, she was known for besting a man in a lance fight; when her ailing father was unable to meet the arranged dueling challenge, Hotot took his place, disguising herself in his armour.

[2][3] The village is reputed to be haunted by a ghost known as Skulking Dudley, who lived in the area in the 14th century.
