Wythmail

The deserted village of Wythmail is located 4.5 miles south of Kettering in the English county of Northamptonshire.

[1] Records of 1220 rate the village as having 12 ploughs and it was mentioned in the Nomina Villarum of 1316.

The village was assessed in conjunction with Orlingbury in the 1334 Subsidy Returns and in the 1377 Poll Tax.

Today there are no traces of the village to be seen, having been obliterated by modern farming methods.

However traces of the earthwork outline of the village and its streets can be clearly seen on an aerial photograph of the site taken by the RAF in 1947.
