In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Boughton like this:
BOUGHTON, a hamlet in Weekley parish, Northampton; 3½ miles NE of Kettering. Boughton Park here belonged formerly to the Montagues; and belongs now to the Duke of Buccleuch; and the mansion on it contains two cartoons of Raphael and other rare paintings.
Boughton is now part of NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Boughton itself, go to Statistics.
