General note

Great Addington and Little Addington are neighboring villages in Northamptonshire, England, with a collective population of around 600. The two Addingtons, as they are known, are similar in size, although Great Addington is about 100 acres larger. The Addingtons were established in the 800s under the manorial system. There are two Anglican churches in the Addingtons, both built in the 13th century. Robert Keen mentions Addington and surrounding villages in Northamptonshire to Nathaniel Whitaker as possible sites for Occom to visit on their fundraising tour.
