In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Drayton House like this:
DRAYTON HOUSE, a seat 2 miles NW of Thrapston, in Northamptonshire. It was built in the time of Henry VI., by the Greens; and it passed to the Sackvilles and the Stopfords. Part of a Roman pavement was found at it in 1736.
Drayton House 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 Drayton House itself, go to Statistics.
