Old (previously Wold and before that Wolde) is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 308 people,[1] and the population increased to 490 at the 2011 Census.[2]
Old is near the village of Walgrave, and has a church, village hall, pub and park. It was once home to the haulage company Knights of Old, but they were later based in Kettering. As with many villages, the number of farms has decreased; two shops, a blacksmith, a butcher and a second pub also disappeared.
