Woodend is a small village in Northamptonshire, sitting close to the Leicestershire border, 4 miles west of Towcester.
The village is in effect a hamlet in the parish of Blakesley, in which parish it remains: the parish church in the latter village just to the north (now part of the delightfully named Lambfold Benefice).[1] Woodend does have its own civil parish though.
Woodend is one of the "Thankful Villages"; those few which watched its men go to the Great War of 1914-1918, and saw all of them return safely.
There is a barrow about 250 yards east of Green's Park Farm[2]
