Burton Latimer is a village in Northamptonshire, England, with a population in 2011 of 7,449.〔(Office for National Statistics website )〕 It is just south of the junction of the A6 and A14 in the borough of Kettering.〔(Kettering Borough Council website )〕 The two-mile A6 bypass opened in October 1991.
==History==
The town's name is derived from the le Latimer family who lived there in the 13th Century.〔Mills, A.D. (1998). Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names, Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-280074-4〕 It grew in the 19th Century around the ironstone quarrying, clothing and footwear industries. A watermill used for grinding corn was converted and used at various times in the 19th century for the manufacture of silk, worsted and carpet-weaving, followed by its conversion to a steam mill to make chicory, mustard, animal foodstuffs and flour. The mill was acquired in the 1930s and became the home of Weetabix.
A notable building in the town is the (parish church ), dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, which was consecrated in 1147. It contains a number of mediaeval wall paintings, a 15th-century chancel screen and some memorial brasses. The oldest of the latter is located between the south arcade and chancel screen and features the coat of arms of the Boyville family; it was almost certainly placed there in the early 16th century to commemorate Richard Boyville, his wife Gresyll and their children.〔http://www.burtonlatimer.info/churches/St%20Mary'shistory.html〕
There was a railway station serving the town called Isham and Burton Latimer, but the station closed in 1950. Now the nearest railway station is at Kettering.
