Sutton Bassett

Sutton Bassett

Sutton Bassett is a little village located in the East Midlands county of Northamptonshire and along the beautiful Welland Valley. Sutton Bassett was formerly in the Corby Hundred of Northamptonshire, one of 29 Hundreds in the county created by the Anglo-Saxon settlers. The village has been part of the Stoke Hundred (named after Stoke Albany village) as well as the Corby Hundred (named after Corby village, now Corby Town).

Sutton Bassett's church, The Church of All Saints (which partly dates back to the Norman period) was built as an annexe to St. Mary's Church in the nearby village of Weston by Welland. Unlike the majority of typical English countryside village churches, it has no graveyard. The local pub is the Queen's Head.

Sutton Bassett is administered as part of the Borough of Kettering, and is situated roughly 14 miles north-west of Kettering town, 12 miles west of Corby, 7 miles north-east of Desborough and roughly only 4 miles from Market Harborough.
