Hargrave is a small village and civil parish situated in rural Northamptonshire, England, approximately 21 miles east of Northampton and adjacent to the Northamptonshire-Cambridgeshire-Bedfordshire border. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 236 people,.[1] increasing to 241 at the 2011 census.[2]

The villages name origin is uncertain. 'The hare grove', 'hoar grove' or in a transferred sense of Old English 'har', 'boundary grove' which it could potentially be because the parish borders both Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.[3]

The 12th century, All Hallows Church is at the centre of the village. The village has a village hall with several active societies.

In 2007, Hargrave, Raunds, Ringstead and Stanwick were legally united as "The 4 Spires Benefice", with each village retaining its own church.[4]
