Woodnewton

Woodnewton

Essentially a pair of parallel streets, the village of Woodnewton lies to the north of a small stream, the Willow Brook, in the forest of Rockingham. It is thus in the East Northamptonshire district of the English county of Northamptonshire. Woodnewton is home to 'Clownfest', a fundraising operation inspired by Coco the Clown. You can see a woodcarved statue of 'Coco the clown' in the Woodnewton village park. Coco the clown is buried in the graveyard of the only village church, which is situated to the eastern end of the village.
