Hinton-in-the-Hedges is a small village and civil parish in South Northamptonshire, due west of the town of Brackley. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 179 people.

There has been a Church in Hinton since Saxon times with Rectors identified from Sir Richard de Hynton in 1275. The church building is an ancient structure, in the Norman style, and contains a monument with the recumbent effigies of a knight and his lady, said to represent Lord and Lady Lovell, of whose manor or castle some remains may still be traced in a meadow near the village. The bulk of the building is 12th. century on a Saxon base. The rood screen and staircase to its loft are still in place. There are some excellent memorial plaques including a 15th. century Latin one. The church's three bells are of 15th. and 17th. century origins and were re-hung as part of the recent millennium celebrations.

Both church and churchyard, to include a cemetery that approximates the age of the church building, are well kept.
