Rushden Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Northamptonshire, and around 35 miles southeast of Leicester, is the town of Rushden.
The name 'Rushden' literally means 'rushy valley'. It appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Risdene'.
During the 14th century, Rushden Hall was built at the southern end of the town centre. Over the centuries it has been home to various wealthy families. In 1930 it was opened to the public, and today it serves as the headquarters of Rushden Town Council. The building is Grade II listed and features at the start of the walk in Hall Park.
At the centre of town at its most elevated point is the striking St Mary's Church, whose origins go back to the 13th century. The tower was enlarged in the 14th century, and the spire was built, which is 52 metres/172 feet high, and can be seen from several miles away.
Industry in Rushden initially consisted primarily of agriculture. Following the Industrial Revolution, lace-making and brick-making were introduced. During the late 19th century, shoe-making began in Rushden. By the early 20th century it had become a major industry, having secured large government contracts to supply army boots. At its peak, around the mid-20th century, there were over 100 boot and shoe factories in Rushden. The industry began to decline with the emergence of foreign imports - first from Italy, then from the eastern countries. Some of the redundant factories have since been converted into flats. One notable company still in operation is Sanders & Sanders, who have been crafting footwear in Rushden since 1873.
In 1894 a railway station opened in Rushden. It was situated on a branch line between Wellingborough and Higham Ferrers. It closed to passengers in 1959, and the station closed completely ten years later. In 1996 the station was bought by the Rushden Historical Transport Society. Since then it has been transformed into a museum and heritage railway with over half a mile of track.
Rushden is represented in sport by A.F.C. Rushden & Diamonds. This is a phoenix club that formed in 2011 following the dissolution of their previous incarnation: Rushden & Diamonds F.C. who were in existence between 1992 and 2011. They formed as a merger between Rushden Town and Irthlingborough Diamonds from the neighbouring town. The original club, Rushden Town, was founded in 1889.

Podington is a small picturesque rural village; many of its buildings are stone cottages dating from the 18th century, and some even earlier. Podington was included in the Domesday Book 1086, with a population of 29 households; prominent landowners included Walter of Flanders, Hugh of Flanders and William Peverer.
*Wymington* is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Bedford in northwestern Bedfordshire. It is located about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) south of Rushden, in the neighbouring county of Northamptonshire, and about 10 miles (16 km) north-northwest of Bedford. As of 2021, the parish of Wymington had a population of 1,000. The village is home to a 14th century parish church, a Wesleyan chapel, and a school. Wymington is home to four listed buildings, including the Grade 1 listed parish church. The village dates from at least 1086, when it was registered in the Domesday Book, though evidence has been discovered of paleolithic, Roman, and Saxon settlement in the area.
*Rushden* is a town and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, around 18 miles (29 km) east of Northampton. The parish is on the border with Bedfordshire, 12 miles (19 km) north of Bedford.
The parish of Rushden covers an area of some 9,001 acres (36.43 km2). The population of Rushden is 32,038, making it the fifth largest town in the county. The larger urban area, which includes the adjoining town of Higham Ferrers, has a population of 40,865.
Rushden lies on the A6 midway between Bedford and Kettering. The southern limits of the town border on the county of Bedfordshire, and to its north lies the River Nene (locally pronounced Nen) which flows into The Wash. Rushden lies in a small valley, with a stream or brook known as Sidney Brook flowing through the centre of the town. During the late 1960s and 70s this stream was culverted to prevent flash flooding. From whichever way Rushden is approached, the streets and roads can be seen stretching out in the valley, with the spire of St Mary's church prominent above its rooftops.

NHRG e-walks, e-walk 60, Rushden Circular. 4/8/21.
Another delightful Ramblers' walk in East Hertfordshire, on a decent day, with a gentle breeze. This one being a 10 mile circular of Rushden.
Setting out from St Mary's church, the walker is soon following field margins and crossings to enter the cooler air of Friar's Wood.
Lunch is had soon after at All Saints' Church, Sandon.
Thereafter, through the small village of Roe Green to join the Hertfordshire Way and on to Wallington, of Orwell's 'Animal Farm' fame.
More delightful byways and field margins, teeming with insects, lead the walker back to Rushden.
A wonderful afternoon's walking, spoilt only by a noticeable increase in jet noise.

Places to see in ( Northampton - UK )
Northampton is the county town of Northamptonshire in the East Midlands of England. It lies on the River Nene, about 67 miles north-west of London and 50 miles south-east of Birmingham.
Northampton rose to national significance with the establishment of Northampton Castle, which was an occasional royal residence and regularly hosted the Parliament of England. Medieval Northampton had many churches, monasteries and the University of Northampton, which were all enclosed by the town walls. It was granted its first town charter by King Richard I in 1189 and its first mayor was appointed by King John in 1215. The town is also the site of two medieval battles; the Battle of Northampton (1264) and the second in 1460.
Northampton's royal connection languished in the modern period; the town supported Parliament (the Roundheads) in the English Civil War, which culminated in King Charles II ordering the destruction of the town walls and most of the castle. The town also suffered the Great Fire of Northampton (1675) which destroyed most of the town. It was soon rebuilt and grew rapidly with the industrial development of the 18th century. Northampton continued to grow following the creation of the Grand Union Canal and the arrival of the railways in the 19th century, becoming an industrial centre for footwear and leather manufacture.
After the World Wars, Northampton's growth was limited until it was designated as a New Town in 1968, accelerating development in the town. Northampton unsuccessfully applied for unitary status in 1996 and city status in 2000; the town continues to expand with many areas undergoing urban renewal.
