Great Cransley is a village in the middle of Northamptonshire, half a mile north-west of Broughton, from which it is separated by the A43 trunk road, and a mile from the outskirts of Kettering. Little Cransley is now attached to Broughton.

Though a very small village, it has a parish church, St Andrew's, built in the early 14th and 15th centuries, and restored in the early 18th, and in 1870.[1]

Close by the church is Cransley Hall, a small country house built for Henry Robinson in 1677, with later additions. The hall is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
