Horton is a village in Northamptonshire, England; the name Horton comes from the Old English meaning "muddy farmstead". After demolition of the earlier village, it later became an estate village, serving the now demolished Horton House and it is close to its neighbouring village Hackleton. It was home to the first Governor of the Bank of England. What appears to be the outline of the remains of the old village can still be seen in the neighbouring fields.
