Excerpt from The Greene Family in England and America: With Pedigrees Boughton, the ancient name of which was Buke ton, is three and a half miles north of the town of Northampton; it was the former seat of the Earls of Strafford. In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Edward III Sir Henry Greene, Lord of Boughton Manor, obtained for himself and his heirs the grant of a Fair, to be held yearly for three days, beginning on the Vigil of St. John Baptist, the patron Saint of the Parish; and since that time, down to the beginning of the present century, and perhaps later, this Fair is said by a local historian to have been the most celebrated in that part of the kingdom, and resorted to by great numbers for pleasure and business of every description.
