| Northamptonshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1960 words) |
 | Northamptonshire (abbreviated Northants or N'hants) is a landlocked county in central England with a population of 629,676 (2001 census). |
| During the English Civil War Northamptonshire strongly supported the Parliamentarian cause, and the Royalist forces suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Naseby in 1645 in the north of the county. |
| In regional radio and television terms, the county is not usually considered as part of the East Midlands; instead it is associated with East Anglia, being part of the BBC East region and the Anglia television region of ITV, the latter having studios adjacent to BBC Radio Northampton in Abington Street, Northampton. |
