It is within the area of Northamptonshire County Council and the Parliamentary Constituency of Daventry. The Member of Parliament is Chris Heaton-Harris (Conservative). Prior to the 2010 General Election the village was in Northampton South constituency.
The A4500 main road runs just north of the village. The M1 London to Yorkshire motorway between junctions 15a and 16 passes and makes its presence known, close to the south west of the village, and junction 16 is just two miles distant.
The village has three pub/restaurants, the most well-known being the Cromwell Cottage near the river, which has a tenuous historical connection with Oliver Cromwell: Parliamentarian forces spent a night nearby en route to Naseby.
