Elkington, Northamptonshire
- Elkington, Northamptonshire
Elkington is a deserted medieval village and civil parish in the Daventry district of the county of Northamptonshire in England.
The village was described as "Elkynton" and other variants in 1377 having 30 taxpayers over the age of 14. However, in 1412 the village is described as destitute of inhabitants save the seven who were servitors at Pipewell Abbey due to a pestilence believed to be the plague. Today there are no houses left in the village except a single remaining farm. Outlines of the village street can be seen from a survey taken from the air.
It is from this village that many of the Elkington branches of that name are supposed to have been descended, mostly the Leicestershire and Oxfordshire/Warwickshire come from that region.
