"HANNINGTON, a parish in the hundred of Orlingbury, county Northampton, 6½ miles N.W. of Wellingborough, and 8 N. of Northampton, its post town. The parish is wholly agricultural, and the inhabitants are chiefly employed on the farms. The surface is generally elevated, the soil being in parts a rich loam, and in others a reddish sand. The tithes were commuted for land and money payments under an Enclosure Act in 1802. The living is a rectory united with that of Walgrave, in the diocese of Peterborough. The church, dedicated to SS. Peter and Paul, is an ancient stone structure, with small square tower. The living was once held by Bishop T. Godwin, father of Bishop F. Godwin, author of "Lives of the Bishops." There is a National school." [Transcribed from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland 1868 by Colin Hinson ©2010]
