Irthlingborough is a small Town on the River Nene in Northamptonshire , England with a population of around 6,000 people. It is the smallest town in England to possess a league Association Football team, Rushden & Diamonds F.C. , and is also home to the Shoe manufacturer Doc Martens , although production was moved to China in 2002. The Parish Church has a lantern tower which is unusual for Northamptonshire churches. This was built to guide travellers across the Nene valley in foggy weather. It also has doors at the four cardinal points; of note are the 8 Misericord s in the Chancel. Services still continue daily with the main service being at 10:00 am on Sunday Mornings. In the past, Ironstone was Mined near Irthlingborough, and as part of the local ironstone mine, a Tunnel was bored between Irthlingborough and nearby Finedon . The tunnel is still in existence although the Irthlingborough end has been landscaped and the Finedon end sealed with Concrete . EXTERNAL LINKS
