Places to stay in Great Brington
Great Brington is a village in the Daventry district of the county of
Northamptonshire, England. The village, in the civil parish of Brington,
has a population of about 200.
The parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin and St John.
Just outside the village is Althorp, the home of the Spencer family and
Diana, Princess of Wales. Many conspiracy theorists believe that Diana
is in fact buried at Great Brington church as several of her relatives
are, including her father the 8th Earl Spencer, who died in 1992 and not
at Althorp.
The death of Diana had quite an effect on the village - the village pub
was renamed from "The Fox and Hounds" to the "Althorp Coaching
Inn" and the previously sleepy post office gained currency exchange
facilities following the large increase in tourism to the area.
