Glendon is a Deserted Medieval Village near Rothwell in the Kettering district of Northamptonshire, England.
The village appears to have ceased existing as such in 1514, when the lands were turned over to sheep farming. It and its story was featured in the first episode of the 2006 series of Time Team, which featured efforts to find the parish church.
The civil parish of Glendon survived until 1935, covering Glendon Hall and Glendon Lodge, as well as Bunkers Hill Farm. It was merged into Rushton parish.
