Rushton is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, set on rolling limestone countryside a few miles west of Kettering and not far from Market Harborough. It has a quiet, rural feel with farming still important locally and easy commuter links into the surrounding towns.
The village punches above its weight historically and culturally: it is best known for the grand Rushton Hall, now operating as a country house hotel, and the extraordinary late‑16th‑century folly the Rushton Triangular Lodge, built by Sir Thomas Tresham and famous for its symbolic triangular design. These listed landmarks bring modest tourism to the area, while the settlement retains a small, close‑knit community shaped by agricultural and heritage ties.
