Clipston is a village and civil parish that is administered as part of West Northamptonshire in England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 643.[1] The town of Market Harborough is much nearer, about 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east and so the village may be regarded as an economic satellite of that town rather than Daventry. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 613 people.[2]
