Brixworth is a large village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, set in the gently rolling farmland of Northamptonshire about five miles north of Northampton. It is best known for All Saints' Church, one of the finest surviving Anglo‑Saxon churches in England, which dominates the village skyline and attracts visitors for its architecture and regular concerts.

The village combines a rural agricultural setting with a lively community spirit: there are local shops, pubs, sports clubs and a village hall, and many residents commute to nearby towns and cities such as Northampton and Milton Keynes. Conservation areas and surrounding open countryside give it a popular, approachable feel for families and walkers while small businesses and farm enterprises contribute to the local economy.
