St John the Baptist's Church is an Anglican Church and the parish church of Boughton. It is a Grade II listed building and stands on the east side of Church Street. There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for Boughton in the Domesday Book.There have been two churches in the parish of Boughton, both dedicated to St John. The remains of a 14th-century building can be seen on a site to the north of the junction of Moulton Lane and Boughton Road, east of the outskirts of the village of Boughton. It was already in ruins by the early 18th century and the tower and spire collapsed about 1785. The present-day parish church stands within the village. Its tower dates from around 1400 but otherwise the building is the product of a series of developments that were carried out during the 19th century. It consists of a nave, chancel and west tower. Detailed descriptions of both churches appear on the Historic England website and in the Victoria County History of Northamptonshire.The parish registers survive from 1549, the historic registers being deposited at Northamptonshire Record Office.Boughton is part of a united Benefice along with Pitsford.

The centre was established in 1998 and issues local forecasts for the county as well as maintaining a detailed and continuous weather record. The centre maintains the Met Office climate station for Northampton, officially known as Pitsford, Northampton.

An analysis of each month's weather as well special articles are published in the centre's Monthly Weather report received by the British Library and available online and in hard copy to subscribers. The weather station has been run by Sixth Form students using traditional meteorological instruments from its inception in 1998 until 2016 when the site became fully automatic and renamed Pitsford Weather Centre.

The Weather information is now available via Twitter and Facebook as well as smartphone apps for iPhone and Android. An extensive archive of county weather records is held by the station which date back to 1880 and the station continues to receive weather records from a number of sites from across the county.
