Welcome to Southwick

Southwick is a small village located in the county of Northamptonshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles south-west of the town of Oundle and 10 miles west of the city of Peterborough. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. Mary's Church and the Grade II listed Southwick Hall.

St. Mary's Church is a beautiful example of medieval architecture and is one of the oldest buildings in the village. The church features a number of interesting features, including a 14th-century font and a 15th-century rood screen. The church is also home to a number of interesting memorials, including one to Sir John Harington, who was a prominent figure in the court of Queen Elizabeth I.

Southwick Hall is another historic building in the village and is a Grade II listed building. The hall was built in the 16th century and features a number of interesting architectural features, including a Tudor archway and a 17th-century staircase. The hall is now used as a private residence and is not open to the public, but it is still an important part of the village's history and heritage.
