The town of Market Harborough is much nearer and so the village may be regarded as an economic satellite of that town rather than Daventry. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 613 people.[1]
The village has had a school since 1665. Clipston has two pubs, The Red Lion and The Bull's Head. It also has a church, a village hall and a green.
Between 1859 and 1960 the village was served by Clipston and Oxendon railway station about 3 miles north-east of the village and running trains between Northampton in the south and Market Harborough in the north.
