Location - Whittlebury - Whittlebury is due south of the town of Towcester, to which it is connected by main roads, and is close to Milton Keynes and Wolverton which have mainline railway links to Euston. Historically Whittlebury was very much a 'gentry village' and hunting was a significant activity. The village was associated with the Grafton Hunt, the Duke of Grafton having a seat at nearby Wakefield Lodge. Nearby Sholebroke Lodge was built as the residence of the Deputy Ranger of Whittlewood Forest. Whittlebury has maintained it's village charm and little has changed over the years. The village benefits from a primary school, church, and a thriving village pub. Whittlebury Hall is a spa hotel with a golf course and is located on the edge of the village. The town of Towcester is a short distance away and benefits from a variety of shops, church, pubs, restaurants, and Sponne School which is the oldest secondary school in Northamptonshire, and one of the oldest in the country. Part of the school was originally Towcester Grammar School, until grammar schools were abolished in Northamptonshire.
