Naseby Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Naseby

Naseby history

---

Early history

The original settlement probably owes its existence to its geography; the village lay in a strong defensive position. A 19th-century discovery of an Anglo-Saxon trefoil-headed brooch is evidence for its origins.

Domesday Book to the Black Death

In 1086 Naseby appeared in the Domesday Book, by which time Hnaefes-Burgh had evolved into Navesberie. In later records the village had been known as Navesby and Nathesby. In 1349, the Black Death, which wiped out a third of the population of England, attacked the village.

Battle of Naseby

The Battle of Naseby took place on 14 June 1645, during the English Civil War. The battle resulted in a decisive Royalist defeat. A naval warship during the Commonwealth period was named the Naseby in honour of the battle.

18th century

During the 18th century, Naseby continued as an agricultural community. Several fine Georgian buildings were constructed in the parish, including Manor Farm (built 1720), Shuckburgh House (1773), and the old Vicarage (1785) Rev John Mastin was the author of “The History and Antiquities of Nase by, in the County of Northampton”

Nineteenth century

In 1822 the Enclosure commissioners allocated the open land around the village to two landowners, who duly fenced off their newly acquired fields. This action deprived many of the villagers of their traditional plots of land that surrounded the village, that had for years allowed them to grow crops and graze their cattle and sheep. The local friendly society attracted non-conformists from the end of the eighteenth century and in 1825, a Methodist chapel was erected.

Naseby geography / climate

The village sits in a commanding position on one of the highest parts of the Northamptonshire Uplands, close to the county border with Leicestershire.
