Blatherwycke is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire. It is about 6 miles (10 km) north-east of Corby. It is near Blatherwycke Lake, on the Willow Brook.
The name of the village is thought to come from the Old English words "blaer", meaning blackthorn, and "wic", meaning settlement. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and there is evidence of Roman and Iron Age settlements in the area.
In the 18th century, Blatherwycke Hall was built, and many of the cottages in the village date from this time. The Hall was demolished after World War II, as it had fallen into disrepair.
Today, Blatherwycke is a quiet and picturesque village with a population of around 55 people. It has a delightful 18th-century bridge over the Willow Brook, and the surrounding countryside is beautiful.
