Little Harrowden is a village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England. The village is nearly 3 miles (4.8 km) north-west of Wellingborough, off the A509 road. At the 2011 Census, the population of the parish was 892.[1]
The village is in one of the longest and narrowest parishes in Northamptonshire and is built around the Church of St Mary the Virgin, which dates back to circa 1190. The population of the parish is spread across various occupations from industrial in the east to farming in the west.
The local primary school, established over 350 years ago, along with the village hall, act as focal points in the village. The only pub, The Lamb, which was run by Charles Wells closed in 2022.[2]
