Hemington is a village and civil parish in the East Northamptonshire District of Northamptonshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 UK Census was 257. According to Wikipedia this includes the smaller neighbouring parishes of Luddington and Thurning. The three parishes appear to have merged at sometime in the 21st century.
