Crick Village
About Crick
Crick is a village set in the pleasantly rolling countryside of Northamptonshire and yet close to good communications to major UK cities. It has a growing population approaching 2,000 and a history stretching back to the Doomsday Book.
The village is set on the Grand Union Canal and has a large marina where the famous annual Crick Boat Show is held.
Crick also has a well-regarded primary school and a fine church housing a rare church organ, recently restored with help from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The church building is in need of repair but still holds regular services.
