Warmington is a village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England with a population of 874 (as of the 2001 census),[1] increasing to 939 at the 2011 Census.[2]

The village's name means 'Farm/settlement which is connected with Wyrma'.[3]

It is 2+12 miles east of the town of Oundle near the Cambridgeshire border and is 10 miles south west of the city of Peterborough. It has a large 13th-century church, and fine watermill, manor house and dovecote. Most of the houses, however, were built in the 1960s and 1970s. A large estate of private homes has been added since the turn of the millennium increasing the size of the village by around 30%. Warmington is a working, functional village with some impressive old stone buildings which are considered very attractive. The Nene Way footpath runs through the village and is well signposted.
