Burton Latimer is a small town and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, a short distance west of Kettering. It sits where gently rolling agricultural land meets older industrial suburbs, and the nearby Burton Wold Wind Farm is a local landmark visible from the surrounding lanes. Good road links make it a commuter base for larger centres while still retaining a semi-rural feel.
Its history stretches back to medieval times and the town’s name reflects the influence of the Latimer family; a compact historic core and parish church sit alongside former boot, hosiery and light‑engineering works that drove 19th–20th century growth. Today the community mixes small industry, local shops and active clubs and societies, with surrounding footpaths and fields giving a sense of countryside on the town’s doorstep.
