"GLAPTHORN, a parish in the hundred of Willybrook, county Northampton, 1-1 mile N.W. of Oundle, its post town and railway station on the London and NorthWestern line. It is situated in the vicinity of the river Nen. The tithes were commuted for land and a money payment under an Enclosure Act obtained in 1813. The living is a vicarage annexed to that of Cotterstock, in the diocese of Peterborough. The church is dedicated to St. Leonard. The charities consist of about £5 per annum, and fuel and clothing for the poor in winter. There is a free school for both sexes, chiefly supported by the Earl of Cardigan, who is lord of the manor."[From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868).
