Whitfield is a village and parish in the south-west of the English county of Northamptonshire in the valley of the River Great Ouse which forms the border with Buckinghamshire. Nearby villages include Syresham, Biddlesden, Helmdon and Silverstone. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish had 215 inhabitants,[1] including Radstone and increasing to 274 at the 2011 Census.[2]
The Church of England parish church is dedicated to St John the Evangelist and is a Grade II listed building, built in 1870.[3] The original church, built in the 13th century, was damaged by a heavy gale on 1 February 1869, which blew down the west tower, which required it to be rebuilt entirely.[4]
