Rothersthorpe is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, lying around four miles south of Northampton. Set in gently rolling Northamptonshire farmland, the settlement retains a rural character while being close to the M1 and main road links, so many residents combine village life with commuting to nearby towns.
The village has medieval roots and still shows that history in its parish church and older cottages and farm buildings, alongside later Victorian and 20th‑century housing. Socially it supports a compact, active community with a village hall and local events, and economically it has shifted from predominantly agricultural to a mix of farming, small local enterprises and commuter households.
