Farthingstone Village

Northamptonshire, UK

Welcome to Farthingstone

Farthingstone is a delightful small village in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside. Situated half way between Towcester and Daventry, the village has 79 houses, St Mary’s Church, the Baptist Chapel, The Kings Arms pub and a Village Hall which used to be the school. We also have the Joymead Memorial Garden and Cloister as a wonderful amenity for use by the Villagers.

ANOTHER GREAT FARTHINGSTONE PANTOMIME!

The village hall was packed on the weekend of April 16th 2010 for two evening performances and a matinee performance of Cinderella.  Grown ups and children alike were enthralled by the amusing and entertaining Farthingstone players who once again worked very hard to make it such a success.  Don't miss the panto next year - plans are already afoot!
