The River Nene is a river in the east of England that rises from three sources in the English county of Northamptonshire. The tidal river forms the border between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk for about six kilometres. From the source at Arbury Hill to Northampton the river falls a total of 300 feet in 17 miles. For the rest of its course, the Nene falls less than 200 feet.

Northampton Castle was built under the stewardship of Simon de Senlis, the first Earl of Northampton, in 1084. It took several years to complete, as there is no mention of it in the Domesday Book, a great survey of England completed in 1086. The castle was situated outside the western gate, and defended on three sides by deep trenches. A branch of the River Nene provided a natural barrier on the western side. The castle had extensive grounds and a large keep. The gates were surrounded by bulwarks made of earth, used to mount artillery.

The Assize of Northampton, largely based on the Assize of Clarendon of 1166, is among a series of measures taken by King Henry II of England which solidified the rights of the knightly tenants and made all possession of land subject to and guaranteed by royal law.

Far Cotton, many years ago a village in its own right, is a district of the English county town of Northampton.
