Cottingham is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside. It retains a strong village character with historic buildings and a parish church of several centuries’ standing, alongside traditional cottages and working farmsteads.
Historically rooted in farming, the local economy still leans on agriculture while many residents commute to nearby towns; community life revolves around a village hall, parish council activities and occasional local events.
