Kingsthorpe has advanced its standard of living and the standards of services immensely in with time. This is the mere reason that this country village belonging to Northamptonshire is now a sub urban place.

Kingsthorpe was not always related to Northamptonshire and it was not before the start of twentieth century that it was affiliated to the area of Northampton. The soil of Kingsthorpe is considered to be a very fertile one as it is inundated by the tributary of River Nene. This river after flowing through the Kingsthorpe then flows toward the local brewery and then it joins the main river right next to it. There are two main central roads which run through the town and all the major facilities and commodities are situated on it. These roads then respectively run towards Harborough and Licester cities.

The significant feature of Kingsthorpe is that despite being upgraded to the ranking of suburban region they have still managed to preserve the village culture and the village architecture. The preserved actual village is slightly away from the rest of the suburb and has maintained the same status since ages. A church is also present which has continued its practice as it used to do that since ages. There are still numerous cottages there and farming is practiced widely. This has led to a general green image of the village which goes with the idea of maintaining a village. In the past, Kingsthorpe was famous for its water mills which were three in number. According to the recent reports, these watermills are still preserved in their original context and even if they are not present their impressions let people know about their presence.
There has been much controversy about the evolution of name of Kingsthorpe. While its origin is still questionable yet according to some myths the name came from the word ‘torp’ which is known to have Danish origin. In literal terms, torp means a meager settlement or manor which is used by a king or which belongs to a king. The church of Kingsthorpe has a significant amount of history related to it. It is a belief that the main building was constructed in the eleventh century as it is evident from some parts of the architecture of the building. However the tower was added a few centuries after that which is dated back to almost fourteenth century.  Adjacent to the church there is a small monument which belongs to the Reynolds.
