Hargrave is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside a few miles east of the market town of Oundle and not far from Thrapston. The surrounding landscape of fields, hedgerows and quiet lanes is typical of the area and makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural base.
The village retains a handful of historic buildings and a parish church that reflect its long farming past; today the local economy is still rooted in agriculture but many residents commute to nearby towns or work in small businesses. Community life is focused around the church and village hall, with occasional local events that underline the steady, village-centred social character common to Northamptonshire's rural settlements.
