Shutlanger is a small village and civil parish in south Northamptonshire, England. The village is 5miles east of Towcester and 7miles south of Northampton.
The village's name means 'Shuttle sloping-wood', maybe alluding to where shuttles, bolts or bars were made or acquired.[1]
In 1881 Shutlanger parish's total population was 403. In 1901 it was 339 and by 1971 it had dropped to 233.[2] At the time of the 2001 census, it was 270 people,[3] increasing to 290 at the 2011 census.[4]
There was a great medieval house here called the Monastery, but it was just a house and not a monastery in the normal sense.[5] The village is close to Stoke Park Pavilions and originally part of the Stoke Park estate with the first Palladian-style English country house. The building is a Grade I listed Building.[6] Famous residents includes ancestors of the Richardson gang.
Shutlanger has its own Parish Council and belongs to the church grouping with Stoke Bruerne and Grafton Regis.[7] The village has a pub (named The Plough) and a village hall. The nearest primary school and church are at Stoke Bruerne one mile east of Shutlanger.
