Full Description
{2} Before the early C19th the village lay on the north side of a large, irregular green, which was roughly bisected by the Northampton to Bedford Road (A428). The green was enclosed at the same time as the common fields, by Act of Parliament in 1827. Some encroachment had taken place before enclosure and shortly afterwards other houses were erected on the north side of the former green. In recent years modern housing estates have been built over much of the southern part of the green.
