About

Rowlett, Gretton and Cottingham form a cluster of villages in North Northamptonshire set amid arable fields, hedgerows and small woodlands. Settlement is centred on parish churches, village halls and greens, with a mix of cottages and farm buildings built from local stone and ironstone. Long strips of medieval ridge-and-furrow remain visible in the surrounding fields, and public footpaths and bridleways link the three communities, passing through remnants of the old Rockingham Forest and pockets of coppice. Local clubs and weekly events use the playing fields and village halls as meeting points for sport, markets and fetes.

The local economy combines farming with small businesses and residents who commute to work elsewhere in the county. Parish councils manage community services and conservation work, including maintenance of hedgerows and village ponds that support breeding birds and amphibians. Road lanes give direct access between the villages while quieter byways encourage walking and cycling. The area’s layout of narrow lanes, field boundaries and historic ridge-and-furrow gives a clear sense of long-established agricultural practice on the local landscape.
