Broughton is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside. It retains a compact core of older stone and brick houses clustered around a parish church and a village green, and several listed buildings hint at medieval and early‑modern roots.
Historically centred on farming and local manorial estates, the village now mixes long‑standing rural families with commuters who work in nearby market towns and regional centres; community life revolves around the village hall, the local pub and annual events such as fetes and church festivals. Quiet and largely residential, Broughton offers easy access to the wider road and rail network of North Northamptonshire while keeping a distinctly rural character.
