The ParishThe parish of Barton Seagrave sits in central Northamptonshire about 2 miles southeast of the large market town of Kettering. Barton Seagrave, whilst once a separate village, has now almost been absorbed into the town of Kettering of which it forms a southeastern suburb. Barton Seagrave formerly sat of the route of the A6 road which connected Kettering with Rushden, this road now bypasses both Barton Seagrave and Kettering in tandem with the busy A14 road which connects eastern England through to the motorway network. Prior to its 20th century expansion Barton Seagrave was a small agricultural settlement on the eastern banks of the River Ise. The Ise drains the parish southwards reaching the Nene at Wellingborough before heading for the North Sea through The Wash. Barton Seagrave is sited at around 70 metres above the sea in gently rolling countryside. Barton Seagrave parish was of a fairly typical size for a Northamptonshire parish, it covered just under 1,800 acres and would have supported around 200 parishioners. IN Domesday times Barton Seagrave was held by the Bishop of Coutances, it could offer 10 ploughs, some meadows and woodland and 2 mills. |
