COGENHOE, a parish in the hundred of WYMERSLEY,
county of NORTHAMPTON, 5 miles (E.) from
Northampton, containing 255 inhabitants. The living
is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Northampton, and
diocese of Peterborough, rated in the king's books at
£17, and in the patronage of the Rev. E. Watkins.
The church, dedicated to St. Peter, is small, and partly
in the early style of English architecture, but a considerable
portion of it is of later date. The village is situated
upon an eminence, at the foot of which runs the river
Nen, separating this parish from that of Ecton. Limestone
is obtained here.
