Pattishall

Pattishall, also known in antiquity as Pateshull,[1] is a village and Parish in West Northamptonshire, England.

Pattishall is surrounded by hilly fields and contains both 20th century housing and an older part of the village which is down a hill.

The name is derived from the Patishall family, three of whom were eminent judges during the 13th century, including one, Simon of Pattishall, who drafted Magna Carta.

Pattishall was host to a prisoner-of-war camp during World War I, which housed 4500 Germans.

Pattishall Cricket Club and ground is located south of the village off School Road.
