ELKINGTON, a parish in the hundred of GUILSBOROUGH,
county of NORTHAMPTON, 11 miles (N.N.E.)
from Daventry, containing 56 inhabitants. The church
has been entirely demolished, but at what period neither
history nor tradition informs us; it belonged to
the monastery of Daventry, and afterwards to that of
Pipewell, the rectory being valued in the return of the
impropriations of the latter; there is now no living
appointed to, the inhabitants being obliged to resort to
the neighbouring parochial churches.
