Irthlingborough is a town on the River Nene in North Northamptonshire, England. As of 2021, it has a population of 9,325, and was at one point the smallest town in England to have had a Football League team, Rushden & Diamonds F.C. The parish church, St Peter, has a lantern tower, unusual for Northamptonshire churches, which was built to guide travellers across the Nene valley in foggy weather. It also has doors at the four cardinal points and has eight misericords in the chancel. The town’s setting by the river provides a scenic backdrop, and its historic church offers a distinctive architectural feature uncommon in the surrounding area. Residents benefit from the town’s modest size and community atmosphere, while its postal district NN 9 places it within easy reach of larger market towns in the region.
