Moulton sits about four miles north of Northampton’s town centre, functioning as a large, busy village that has managed to retain its own distinct character despite the outward growth of the town. Historically, it was a centre for agriculture and stonemasonry, which is still evident in the pervasive use of local honey-coloured stone in the older cottages lining the narrow streets of the village core. Geographically, it occupies a ridge that offers views across the Nene Valley, though much of the surrounding landscape is now defined by the expansion of Moulton Park and the presence of the extensive Moulton College campus. The village is practical and well-served, anchored by a traditional public square and several long-standing pubs, alongside a range of essential shops and a large primary school. While it is popular with those working in the nearby business parks, it keeps a slower, more communal pace of life, centred around the Grade I listed Church of St Peter and Paul and the various green spaces that break up the newer residential developments.
