Earls Barton is a sizeable historic village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, sitting roughly between Northampton and Wellingborough. It combines a strong village feel with easy commuter links to nearby towns, an industrial estate and a mix of farmland and residential areas, so you get both countryside character and everyday economic activity.
The village is best known for the striking Anglo‑Saxon tower of All Saints’ Church, a rarity in the region with notable carved stonework, and for its history as a centre of the boot and shoe trade. Today a lively community spirit survives in local clubs, a village hall, school and annual events, alongside surviving historic cottages and later housing that reflect its layered past.
