Moulton is a large village in the Daventry district of the county of Northamptonshire in England. It is situated about four miles north of Northampton which is in the Midlands and is one of Europe's largest towns. Moulton has been affected by the expansion of the town yet still retains its village identity. It is thought that the village has its origins in Saxon times, although the main features of the present church are Norman or later.

- Moulton is a large village in the Daventry district of the county of Northamptonshire in England. It is situated about four miles north of Northampton which is in the Midlands and is one of Europe's largest towns. Moulton has been affected by the expansion of the town yet still retains its village identity. It is thought that the village has its origins in Saxon times, although the main features of the present church are Norman or later. There is one major school in Moulton which serves many other surrounding small villages in the area. The village was the 18th-century home of William Carey. The village also has links with John Jeye as Holly Lodge is found on the road from Moulton to Boughton (a building associated with the family). Holly Lodge has the 'Implement gate' (c 1955), which is iconic of the rural beginnings of Moulton. Moulton is a village of narrow winding lanes, lined by stone-built cottages and houses, nowadays with traffic calming and one-way systems. The stone-built Gothicky Methodist Chapel of 1835 with its pretty arched windows is next to the old school of 1878, now used by the Moulton Theatre. Unfortunately the tranquillity of this view is somewhat spoilt today by the level of traffic, mostly cars, snaking through the village’s narrow lanes. Moulton is home to Moulton College, an agricultural and trade orientated college. The village features a meadow called 'Crowfields', which is a natural repository of wild flowers and wildlife. Moulton hosts an annual village festival (held in May) and is home to the Moulton Morris Dancers. The Moulton Sports Complex is also home to the Village Hall and is the current site of the Northampton Saints Hockey Club, Moulton has a population of over 3,000. The centre of Moulton houses the parish church and some shops and a post office. The local Co-op store has been run by the Moulton Co-operative Society, an independent society and one of Britain's smallest until its expected merger with Midlands Co-operative Society in February 2009. In the area of Moulton Leys in the south, Kettering Road takes residents from Moulton to Northampton town centre. Moulton is home to a number of pubs including The White Lion, The Cardigan Arms, The Telegraph, The Artichoke, a working men's club, and just past Moulton Leys heading towards town there is the Lumbertubs pub. Moulton also contains, on its fringe, the Northampton Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters.
