Tiffield is a village and civil parish in Northamptonshire, England, north of Towcester between the A5 road to its west and the A43 road to its east. The village's name origin is dubious. It has been suggested that the primary component of this obscure name could be 'meeting place', 'goat' or 'bee/swarm'. "Field" meant a piece of open land and the whole name could mean open land with or near to a meeting place.

Gayton Manor House is a manor house in Gayton, England. It is a Grade I listed building in West Northamptonshire. The manor is mentioned in the reign of Henry II when it was in the possession of Bethune. He was succeeded by Baldwin of Bethune, who sold it, with the advowson of the church, to Ingelram, Lord of Fienles during the reign of Henry III in 1249. Ingelram obtained a licence to enclose Gayton Wood and include it into a park in 1259. The manor passed to Michael de Houghton of Northampton, who obtained a grant of free warren for himself and his heirs; and during the reign of Edward II, in 1316, Thomas Murdak and his wife, Scolastica de Meux, were certified to be lords of Gayton. From their descendants, the manor passed to the family of Trussell, and during the reign of Henry VI, in 1446, Robert Tanfield, levied a fine against it, together with the advowson of the church. Sir Francis Tanfield sold them in 1607 to Sir William Samwell, who died seized of them during the reign of Charles I in 1628. In 1751, they were again sold by Sir Thomas Samwell to Richard Kent. His son and successor of the same name disposed of the entire estate. The manor was purchased in 1755 by James Hawley, M.D., whose great-grandson, Sir Joseph Henry Hawley, the third baronet, was a subsequent proprietor. Certain lands were formerly in the possession of the family of De Gayton, and called "Gayton's Manor." Gayton was annexed to Grafton in 1541. The manor house, now reduced to a farmhouse, stands at the northern entrance to the village. The architectural style is that of the reigns of Elizabeth and James I.

Easton Neston is a large grade I listed country house in the parish of Easton Neston near Towcester in Northamptonshire, England. It was built by William Fermor, 1st Baron Leominster (1648–1711), in the Baroque style to the design of the architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.Easton Neston is thought to be the only mansion which was solely the work of Hawksmoor. From about 1700, after the completion of Easton Neston, Hawksmoor worked with Sir John Vanbrugh on many buildings, including Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace, and often provided technical knowledge to the less qualified Vanbrugh. Hawksmoor's work was always more classically severe than Vanbrugh's. However, Easton Neston predates this partnership by some six years.
