Rothwell is a small market town in the Kettering district of Northamptonshire, England. It lies some 10 km southeast of Market Harborough, 11 km southwest of Corby, and 6 km northwest of Kettering, all of which are larger places. Rothwell's nearest railway station is at Kettering on the Midland Main Line.
The ridge on which present day Rothwell stands, overlooking the gentle Ise Valley, has witnessed the comings and goings of successive generations. Four thousand years ago Bronze Age mourners buried their dead alongside offerings of food in vessels. The Romano-British people, two thousand years later, built a settlement in what is now Rothwell. Dark Age invaders came next and founded the Danish settlement of "Rodewell" or "place of the red well", presumably so-called because of the area's many freshwater springs coloured red by iron and other minerals.
