Woodend is a small village in the district of South Northamptonshire in the English county of Northamptonshire.
It is 4 miles (6.4 km) west of the town of Towcester and was a hamlet in the parish of Blakesley until 1866, when it became a parish in its own right. After World War I it was designated a "thankful village", all of the soldiers it sent to war having returned safely.
There is a Barrow about 250 yards east of Green's Park Farm[2]
