Kettering is a large market and industrial town in Northamptonshire, England, 70 miles (113 km) north of London and 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Northampton, west of the River Ise, a tributary of the River Nene. The name means "the place (or territory) of Ketter's people (or kinsfolk)".[1]
At the 2011 census, it had a population of 93,475.[2] The town is twinned with Lahnstein, in Germany and Kettering, Ohio, in the United States.
