main street 1931 The village of Pytchley is situated some three miles South of Kettering in Northamptonshire – the shire of “spires and squires” on the South side of the A14.

Pytchley village is mentioned in the Domesday Book, written in 1086 – 1087, when it was described as part of the land of Peterborough Abbey. It remains part of the Diocese of Peterborough to this day.

Just as surnames have evolved over time, Pytchley has not always been Pytchley. The name has evolved over the centuries.During the eleventh century, the name was Pihteslea; this became Pycseley or even Pyghtesley in the thirteenth century and evolved to Piseley in the sixteen hundreds.
