Wappenham is a compact, picturesque village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set among rolling Northamptonshire countryside. The core has a distinctly historic feel, with a medieval church, Georgian and earlier houses, narrow lanes and a village green that give it a conservation‑area character and a strong sense of place.
The local economy is largely rural and residential - surrounding farmland is important and many residents commute to nearby towns - while the village itself attracts walkers and visitors who enjoy its architecture and quiet lanes. Community life is active for a settlement of its size, centred on the church, village hall and occasional local events that sustain a close‑knit social fabric.
