The fine Elizabethan house standing at the entrance to the town on the road from Kettering , now known as Burton Latimer Hall, was built by Edmund Bacon, the Lord of Latimer Manor, c1620. It was bought, with its estate, by John Harpur in 1760 and the family has owned it ever since. There is an Elizabethan dovecote and evidence of three fishponds in the grounds. Alterations were made to the house in the 18th century including a new wing facing the main road. Further additions were made in 1872.
