A quick guide to <strong>Cottingham</strong> <strong>and</strong> its surroundings
welcome to cottingham<br />
A warm welcome to our village, here on the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire<br />
border <strong>and</strong> in the heart of the Well<strong>and</strong> Valley.<br />
We’ve produced this pack to help you find your way around the village <strong>and</strong> the<br />
local area in general, <strong>and</strong> hopefully help you make lots of new friends along the<br />
way.<br />
We know how daunting it can be moving into a new home so hopefully the information<br />
in this pack will give you a few pointers to local amenities <strong>and</strong> places<br />
of interest, along with a few useful contact numbers.<br />
village life<br />
Moving into a new village can be<br />
a little unsettling at first – you<br />
probably don’t know anyone,<br />
you’re not sure where anything is<br />
<strong>and</strong> there are things you must get<br />
sorted but you don’t know who<br />
to call.<br />
Well, the great thing about<br />
<strong>Cottingham</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Middleton</strong> is that<br />
there are plenty of people around<br />
who’ll be more than happy to give<br />
you a h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> help you out.<br />
One thing you’ll discover very<br />
quickly is just how easy it is to get<br />
involved with village life.<br />
There’s lots of stuff going on<br />
for all ages, from Mums <strong>and</strong><br />
Tots, monthly drinking clubs<br />
<strong>and</strong> annual events to Over 60s<br />
clubs, Village Quizzes <strong>and</strong> Church<br />
Groups.<br />
There’s a full list of clubs <strong>and</strong><br />
groups elsewhere in this pack <strong>and</strong><br />
if you need any more information,<br />
just give the contact number a<br />
call.<br />
page 2<br />
Coming along to these events<br />
is a great way to meet your<br />
neighbours <strong>and</strong> strike up new<br />
friendships. Many of these events<br />
are held on a regular basis so if<br />
you miss one, there’s also a chance<br />
to catch up at the next one.<br />
For example, every month at<br />
‘Ramblers’ the guys from the two<br />
villages meet up at someone’s<br />
house for a night of beer <strong>and</strong><br />
curry, while the girls hold their<br />
‘Sweets’ get togethers the next<br />
day so babysitting duties are<br />
equally split.<br />
(There’s no real reason why<br />
there’s a male/female split – it just<br />
worked out that way over the past<br />
10 years!)<br />
There’s also the ‘Desperate<br />
Housewives’ club which meets<br />
every two months <strong>and</strong> the annual<br />
Wine Safari where villagers are<br />
invited to half a dozen homes<br />
around the villages to take a glass<br />
of wine <strong>and</strong> raise money for the<br />
Church <strong>and</strong> School.<br />
But it’s not all about socialising<br />
with a glass in your h<strong>and</strong> – there<br />
are plenty of opportunities<br />
to meet up <strong>and</strong> get involved<br />
throughout the year, through<br />
school fayres, church meetings<br />
<strong>and</strong> a whole host of sports <strong>and</strong><br />
social events down at the Village<br />
Hall Annex.<br />
You can keep track of what’s<br />
going on in the villages by taking<br />
a look at the Village <strong>News</strong>letter<br />
(published every two months),<br />
the village website at www.<br />
cottinghamnews.co.uk <strong>and</strong><br />
www.middletonnews.co.uk, or<br />
the ‘Down Your Way’ column<br />
in the Saturday Corby Evening<br />
Telegraph.<br />
But the best way is to just go out<br />
<strong>and</strong> get yourself involved.

history<br />
There has been a settlement around <strong>Cottingham</strong> <strong>and</strong> neighbouring<br />
<strong>Middleton</strong> since the Iron Age. The first mention of a village called<br />
‘Cotingeham’ comes in the Domesday Book as part of l<strong>and</strong> owned by<br />
Peterborough Abbey. There’s no mention of <strong>Middleton</strong> at the time of<br />
the Domesday survey, although the village can be traced back to the<br />
late 12th Century.<br />
The name ‘<strong>Cottingham</strong>’ comes from the Anglo Saxon words ‘Cotta’, or<br />
‘Cotti’, meaning ‘chief’, ‘ing’ denoting a tribal leader’s son <strong>and</strong> ‘ham’<br />
meaning a settlement.<br />
The village lies within Rockingham Forest, created by William 1 in the<br />
11th Century, <strong>and</strong> sits under the watchful eye of nearby Rockingham<br />
Castle, which you can easily see by taking a walk or driving up<br />
Rockingham Road.<br />
Since those days, <strong>Cottingham</strong> has geographically been part of<br />
Northamptonshire – first as one of 29 regional ‘Hundreds’ <strong>and</strong> later as<br />
part of Kettering Rural District – although our postal address has been<br />
Market Harborough, Leicestershire, since the early 1900s.<br />
You can find out more about the history of <strong>Cottingham</strong> on villager Jane<br />
Smith’s excellent website at www.cottinghamhistory.co.uk, from where<br />
the information for this section has been taken.<br />

If you’d like to explore your new village, the best way would be<br />
to head down to St Mary Magdalene Church (1) at the end of,<br />
appropriately enough, Church Street.<br />
The Church dates from the 13th Century, although most of what we see<br />
now was added in the 14th <strong>and</strong> 15th Centuries, <strong>and</strong> underwent a major<br />
restoration in the mid-1800s.<br />
Behind the Church looking south is the 11-acre Dale (2), a ‘Pocket Park’<br />
owned <strong>and</strong> maintained by <strong>Cottingham</strong> Parish Council for recreational<br />
use by all of our villagers <strong>and</strong> also used annually for grazing l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
To the right of the kissing gate is a footpath that leads behind<br />
<strong>Cottingham</strong> <strong>and</strong> along into <strong>Middleton</strong>, coming out just before The Hill<br />
in <strong>Middleton</strong>.<br />
If you walk back up to the crossroads at the end of Church Street, you’ll<br />
see one of <strong>Cottingham</strong>’s two surviving pubs, The Spread Eagle (3), to<br />
your left <strong>and</strong> the newly refurbished village shop <strong>and</strong> coffee house on<br />
the corner to your right.
cottinghamparishcouncil<br />
If you look up Corby Road, you might catch a glimpse of <strong>Cottingham</strong>’s<br />
oldest pub, The Royal George (4), which you can get to from Blind Lane<br />
or through the rear entrance on the path behind the bus shelter on<br />
Corby Road.<br />
Opposite the path on the right h<strong>and</strong> side of Corby Road is the 19th<br />
Century Methodist Church <strong>and</strong> Hall (5) which holds its services every<br />
week, as well as hosting a wide range of events during the year.<br />
Back on High Street <strong>and</strong> further down on the left is The Hunting Lodge<br />
(6), a hotel <strong>and</strong> restaurant originally built in the grounds of the Bury<br />
House (7), the gr<strong>and</strong> 17th Century manor house you can see behind the<br />
ornate railings which is still in private ownership.<br />
Walking down to the end of High Street, you’ll see <strong>Cottingham</strong><br />
Church of Engl<strong>and</strong> Primary School (8) which was built in the 1960s <strong>and</strong><br />
serves pupils aged between 4 <strong>and</strong> 11 from the two villages <strong>and</strong> the<br />
surrounding area.<br />
The school feeds into the nearby secondary facility at Kingswood School<br />
in Corby <strong>and</strong> has a very active weekly Youth Club run by local villagers.<br />
It also holds its annual School Fete, along with a few other events<br />
throughout the year, on the recreation field behind the building.<br />
Attached to the school is the <strong>Cottingham</strong>-cum-<strong>Middleton</strong> Village<br />
Hall, known as the Annex, which also has an active calendar of events<br />
that includes dances, discos, whist drives <strong>and</strong> keep fit classes. Both<br />
<strong>Cottingham</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Middleton</strong> hold their separate monthly Parish Council<br />
meetings here, which everyone is welcome to attend.<br />

pubs, hotels <strong>and</strong> b&bs<br />
page 6<br />
The two main pubs in <strong>Cottingham</strong> are The Royal George <strong>and</strong> The Spread Eagle, <strong>and</strong><br />
both offer a variety of beers, real ales, wines <strong>and</strong> food. The Hunting Lodge Hotel<br />
has a bar, a restaurant <strong>and</strong> offers wedding venue <strong>and</strong> conference facilities<br />
The ‘George’ is one of the oldest buildings in the village. The bottom lounge was<br />
erected in 1261 as a farmhouse <strong>and</strong> the building became a pub in 1780, the same<br />
time the Royal George flagship was commissioned.<br />
The ‘Spread’ (right) was originally a thatched<br />
cottage <strong>and</strong> has been around since at least<br />
1854. The current pub was built in the<br />
1960s behind the original pub, which was<br />
subsequently demolished.<br />
The Hunting Lodge (below) was formerly the stables <strong>and</strong> outbuildings<br />
for Bury House. In the 1960s/70s the Hunting Lodge was a casino, <strong>and</strong><br />
also at one time had a gr<strong>and</strong> ballroom.<br />

cottingham parish council<br />
<strong>welcomepack</strong><br />
<strong>Cottingham</strong> Parish Council has been serving the villagers of <strong>Cottingham</strong> since the late 19th Century.<br />
Our first Chairman, Cllr W Yates, took up the role in 1894 shortly after the Parish Council’s formation under<br />
the Local Government Act, which was one of the last pieces of legislation to be passed by Prime Minister<br />
William Gladstone.<br />
Since then, some 16 Chairmen<br />
<strong>and</strong> Chairwomen, along with six<br />
Parish Clerks, have been working<br />
with councillors elected or coopted<br />
from around <strong>Cottingham</strong><br />
to ensure that the village’s rural<br />
<strong>and</strong> forward thinking nature<br />
is preserved for generations to<br />
come.<br />
Meetings are generally held at<br />
7.30pm in the Village Hall Annex<br />
at the back of the school on the<br />
first Wednesday of each month,<br />
except for a break in August when<br />
there is no meeting.<br />
