Situation
Brigstock is a thriving and historically interesting village, the origins of which are believed to date back to Saxon times. There are remains of a 10th century tower at the Parish Church and the village is referred to in the Doomsday Book. During the Middle Ages Brigstock was an important administrative centre for Rockingham Forest and was granted a market Charter in 1426.

Today Brigstock offers a good range of facilities including a number of shops and businesses, a medical centre, two public houses, a primary school, a Cricket Club and Country Park just outside the village. A more extensive range of facilities are available in the Georgian Market Town of Oundle which offers many family run shops, businesses and restaurants, set around a traditional marketplace.

Communications to the area are excellent with easy access to A14 connecting to the west with M1, M6 and to the east to A1 Great North Road. Mainline high speed rail links are provided to London St Pancras via Kettering or Wellingborough and to London Euston from Northampton. International airports are within easy reach at East Midlands, Birmingham, Stansted and Luton.

Education in the region is well catered for with primary schooling in the village and secondary at Thrapston, Oundle and Corby. Within easy driving distance are the highly regarded public schools at Oundle, Wellingborough, Oakham, Uppingham, Stamford and Kimbolton.
