Weekley is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Northamptonshire, on the outskirts of Kettering.
The village's name probably means, 'wood/clearing by the Romano-British vicus', a trading settlement. There are two known Romano-British destinations in the surrounding area. On the other hand, 'wych-elm wood/clearing' might be an alternative derivation.[1]
At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 242 people,[2] increasing to 297 at the 2011 Census.[3]
Many houses in Weekley have thatched roofs. The busy A4300 road runs through the village.
Governance
Weekley is part of the North Northamptonshire unitary authority.
