Barton Seagrave is a village and civil parish in the Kettering borough of Northamptonshire, England. The village is a suburb of Kettering, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-east of the town centre. The older part of the village is known for its Norman Church and attractive buildings.
The 2011 Census recorded a parish population of 4,418 in 1,843 homes.
The A6 road linking London and Leicester runs through the top of the village and joins to the A14 road just outside the village. The A14 joins to the M1 motorway at junction 19 (Catthorpe Interchange) offering easy access to Huntingdon, Felixstowe and London.
The Midland Main Line runs to the west of the village, partly along the edge of the River Ise. The nearest station is Kettering railway station, which opened in 1857 and is maintained by East Midlands Trains, who run services to London, Sheffield, Corby and Derby.
The village used to be connected with Cambridge by rail via the Kettering, Thrapston and Huntingdon Railway, until this was closed in 1961 due to the Beeching cuts. Part of the route of the Branch can still be viewed today and is in use as a footpath.
