About

Higham Ferrers is a small market town in North Northamptonshire, lying close to Rushden and Irthlingborough. The town centre keeps a clear medieval street pattern around a Market Place and a compact high street, with a mix of civic buildings, houses and small businesses. Local green spaces and short footpaths connect the centre to surrounding farmland and residential areas, and community facilities concentrate around the town hall and schools.

The town is closely associated with Archbishop Henry Chichele, who founded Chichele College in 1422; the college’s stone remains sit adjacent to St Mary’s Church and are visible from streets around the churchyard. St Mary’s itself contains elements from several centuries and anchors the town’s historic core. Higham Ferrers still shows its origins as a market settlement through its layout and surviving historic buildings, and its identity is tied to those local landmarks rather than to larger nearby centres.
