Strixton is a tiny, rural parish in North Northamptonshire, England, characterised by rolling farmland and a scatter of houses rather than a compact village centre. It sits a few miles east of Wellingborough and feels very much like quiet countryside, with limited amenities and a close-knit, largely residential and agricultural community.
The parish is best known for its small medieval church, dedicated to the little-known infant saint Rumwold, which gives the place a distinct historic charm; a handful of listed buildings and country lanes add to the sense of continuity with the past. Economically and socially it leans on nearby towns for shops and services, while retaining a peaceful rural character prized by residents and visitors passing through the Northamptonshire countryside.
