In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Courteenhall like this:
COURTEENHALL, a parish in Hardingstone district, Northamptonshire; adjacent to the Northwestern railway and the Grand Junction canal, 1½ mile NE of Roade r. station, and 5 S of Northampton. Post town, Northampton. Acres, 1, 330. Real property, £2, 349. Pop., 162. Houses, 31. The property is divided among a few. ...
The manor, with Courteenhall House, belongs to Sir Charles Wake, Bart. Limestone is found. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Peterborough. Value, £275.* Patron, the Lord Chancellor. The church is ancient, but good; and it contains monuments of the Wakes, and an altar-tomb of Samuel Jones, who died in 1672, and left funds for a school and apprenticing, which now yield £120 a year.
