Mears Ashby is a small rural village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, set in gently rolling countryside a few miles north‑west of Northampton. It keeps the feel of a traditional Northamptonshire village, with hedged lanes, farmland and a mix of older cottages and later homes, while remaining within reasonable commuting distance of London by road and rail from nearby towns.
The settlement has long historical roots and is notable for the presence of the country house Mears Ashby Hall; the parish church, village hall and local pub provide the focus for community life. Historically agricultural, the local economy now blends farming with small businesses and commuters, and the village is valued for its tranquillity and conservation of local character while still being close to the amenities of the county town.
