Naseby

Naseby is a village and civil parish in Northamptonshire, England. It is situated in the east of the county, approximately 12 miles north-east of the town of Daventry. The village is notable for its historical significance, particularly as the site of the Battle of Naseby in 1645, a pivotal engagement of the English Civil War. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the Parliamentarian New Model Army over the Royalist forces, significantly weakening King Charles I's position.

The modern village of Naseby is a relatively small rural community. It features a parish church, St Peter's, which has a history stretching back many centuries, although much of the current structure dates from the medieval period. The surrounding landscape is characteristic of the Northamptonshire countryside, with rolling hills and agricultural land. A visitor centre and marked trails are located near the battlefield, allowing people to explore the historical site. The village's economy is primarily based on agriculture and local services. Naseby is part of the Daventry District.
