Harringworth

Harringworth is a village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England.

It is located close to the border with Rutland, on the southern bank of the River Welland, and around 5.3 miles (8.5 km) north of Corby.

[3] In 1086 Harringworth was considered a large village in the hundred of Corby,[4] one of many possessions of the Countess Judith.

The manor was acquired at some time before 1232 by William I de Cantilupe (died 1239), 1st feudal baron of Eaton Bray in Bedfordshire, who created a deer park, completed by 1234 when it was stocked with eight does and two bucks sent from Rockingham Forest.

The Church of St John the Baptist, Harringworth is a Grade I listed building.
