Southwick, Northamptonshire history


Excavations of two closely connected sites produced evidence of thriving iron-smelting industry in the 10th century. A medieval stone hall dating from the mid-13th century may have been a manse owned by St Mary’s Priory, Huntingdon.

The manor of Southwick, and Southwick Hall

The first mention of a Knyvett at Southwick is in 1194. The Knyvetts allowed Southwick to pass to the Lynn family after inheriting a better seat at Buckenham Castle. The Lynn family held the manor of Southwick from 1442 until 1840. A connection is traced between the three families which have owned the village from the 12th to the 21st centuries. One of George Capron’s great-uncles was John Shuckburgh, or Shukburgh, whose mother was descended through the Thynnes of Longleat.
