Collyweston is a compact village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, tucked close to the Lincolnshire border and just a short drive from Stamford with Peterborough not far beyond. It is best known for its traditional Collyweston stone slate – a local Jurassic limestone that was split and used as roofing on many historic buildings; old quarries and the revival of the slating craft are a distinctive part of the area’s heritage.
The parish retains a rural character of stone cottages, farmland and a village green feel, with disused quarry sites and hedgerows that now support wildlife. Socially and economically it mixes agricultural roots with commuter links to nearby towns, while a small but active community maintains local events and cares for historic buildings and landscape features.
