Nassington

Nassington is a village and civil parish in East Northamptonshire, England. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 670 people. The River Nene runs along the eastern side of the parish.

The village has existed since at least Anglo-Saxon times, for an Anglo-Saxon hall was taken over by the Viking king, Cnut the Great, as one of his royal halls. Cnut is known to have visited after 1017, with his court including Aethelric the bishop of Dorchester on Thames. In 1107 Henry I gave the hall and land to the Bishop of Lincoln, Robert Bloet, to endow a prebend.
