Little Irchester is a small, mainly residential village in North Northamptonshire, England, lying just outside the larger village of Irchester and within easy reach of Wellingborough and Rushden. It sits amid rolling Northamptonshire farmland near the Nene Valley and the green space of Irchester Country Park, so the setting feels distinctly rural while still being convenient for nearby towns and road links.
The village has a long local history with evidence of Roman and medieval activity in the area and saw significant change during the 19th–20th‑century ironstone working that shaped the local landscape; traces of that industrial past are interpreted at the country park and nearby heritage sites. Today it is largely a commuter and farming community with a quiet, close‑knit social feel, valued for its countryside walks, local heritage and proximity to larger service hubs.
