Village Life

We live in the village of Crick, Northamptonshire. 

Crick is a village in West Northamptonshire in England. It is close to the border with Warwickshire, six miles (ten kilometres) east of Rugby and 14 miles (23 km) northwest of Northampton. Crick takes its name from the Brittonic Celtic word for “hill,” “cruc.” There are many similar examples across Wales, for example Crughywel, Crug Mawr and Crickadarn.

Crack's Hill (grid reference SP595736) is about one mile (1.5 km) northeast of the village, next to the canal, and gives good views of Crick, Yelvertoft, West Haddon and Rugby from the top. Kilsby and Crick railway station was located 1+1⁄2 mi (2.5 km) west of the village between 1881 and 1960.
