The manor of Apethorpe is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Patorp. The village is compact, uniform and centred on Main Street. In the late 15th century the manor of Apethorpe was acquired by Sir Guy Wolston, an officer in the household of King Edward IV, who began the construction of the surviving Apethorpe Palace. The villages name means 'Api's outlying farm/settlement'.

The village is approximately 6 mile (10 km) north of the Northamptonshire market town of Oundle, 12 mile (19 km) northeast of Corby, and 11 mile (18 km) west of Peterborough. The nearest railway stations are in Corby for London St Pancras and Peterborough for London King's Cross. London is about 75 mile (121 km) via the A1 road.

St Leonard's Church, Apethorpe is mostly Perpendicular but has a chapel of 1621 and tower partly 1633. There is a huge monument to Sir Anthony Mildmay (d.11 September 1617) and another smaller one to Sir Richard Dalton (d.1442). Mildmay was the eldest son of Sir Walter Mildmay, an English statesman who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer of England under Queen Elizabeth I and also founded Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Sir Anthony inherited the family estate and was knighted in 1596 when he was appointed ambassador to Henry IV of France.

The Willow Brook bounds the eastern edge of the village, which contains the Grade I listed historical monument of Apethorpe Palace owned by the Baron von Pfetten since 2014.

In 1904 Leonard Brassey made many alterations to the village, a number of cottages were built and the old Westmorland Arms was replaced by a new public house, The King's Head. The Pub is now owned by Baron Von Pfetten.

There is a stocks and whipping post just west of the church. The Dovecote on the palace ground is 18th century listed as Scheduled Monument. Pevsner also mentioned Blue Field Farm 0.5 mile (1 km) northeast as having an interesting barn with a cross cartway through it.
