In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Borough Hill like this:
BOROUGH-HILL, an eminence in the vicinity of Daventry, Northampton. It was the scene of the Danish victory over the Saxons in 1006, and the place of Charles I. 's encampment before the battle of Naseby; and it has vestiges of a large ancient camp, and commands a fine view.
Borough Hill is now part of WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Borough Hill itself, go to Statistics.
