Preston Capes is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, tucked into the rolling farmland typical of the county and not far from the market town of Daventry. The setting is quietly rural, with a scattering of older stone and brick houses amid fields and hedgerows that give the place a classic Northamptonshire character.
The name reflects its history: "Preston" indicates a priest's settlement and "Capes" refers to the family who once held the manor, and the village still retains a modest medieval parish church and a handful of historic buildings. Today the economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Northampton and Daventry, and local life tends to revolve around the church, village hall and occasional community events.
