Thornton Park
The 15 acres of Thornton Park, also known as Kingsthorpe Park, lie just off the main Harborough Road leaving Northampton.
When, in 1939, the parkland was opened to the public, it was still surrounded by a high stone wall, originally built to give the park some privacy. The stone wall was reduced in height in 1965, thus opening up a beautiful vista from the road.
Kingsthorpe Hall is now a community centre for various local groups including a children's day centre.
