Titchmarsh Meadow is a 2.2-hectare (5.4-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-east of Titchmarsh in Northamptonshire.[1][2] This poorly drained field has a rich variety of plant species, including greater bird’s-foot-trefoil, southern marsh-orchid and pepper saxifrage. A medieval fish pond which has been drained has marsh vegetation. Hedges, streams and ditches provide a valuable habitat for invertebrates and small mammals.[3] The site is private land with no public access.
