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.

Weekley Village Walk, Northamptonshire. (English Village Walks)
Join me (Paul) as i walk through the beautiful Weekley Village in Northamptonshire.
Weekley is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Northamptonshire, on the outskirts of Kettering. The village's name probably means, 'wood/clearing by the Romano-British vicus', a trading settlement. There are two known Romano-British destinations in the surrounding area. On the other hand, 'wych-elm wood/clearing' might be an alternative derivation.
At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 242 people, increasing to 297 at the 2011 Census.
Many houses in Weekley have thatched roofs. The busy A4300 road runs through the village.

Charming small town in England: Brackley
We found many cozy and picturesque towns in the heart of England. You would adore so many of the good towns there. Despite being little, they are useful, have a vibrant culture, and have a deep history. One benefit of living in England is having access to its many charming, different towns that are dispersed throughout the country. Brackley is a market town and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, just on the border with Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Since the old times, it was a market town where people provided the wool and lace trade. it was built on the cross of trade routes between London, Birmingham, the Midlands, Cambridge, and Oxford. Brackley is just next to Silverstone and the place where the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team was started.

SWILLINGTON: Leeds Parish #10 of 38
Historically the full title for today’s offering in Leeds included “-in-Elmet”, which refers to the association of the village with the region of Elmet which we’ve met previously. However, as with many other places the -in-Elmet has been lost in modern times with only a few exceptions such as Barwick-in-Elmet and Sherburn-in-Elmet surviving.
While some residents commute to the nearby cities of Leeds and Wakefield or the larger towns of Garforth or Rothwell many are able to make their livelihood here. The Astley Lane Industrial estate provides a good number of jobs in many different fields of industry and almost certainly, the village's biggest employer is the multinational, award winning, specialist lubricants manufacturer, Rocol.
It was once a coal mining village, though the pits were worked out and closed, some years before the industry itself was all but destroyed. There was also a brickworks, Hansons, which is now abandoned. Several streets are named after Sir John Lowther, better known as Lord Lowther, an English landowner and Member of Parliament.
Both Lord and Lady Lowther are buried in the graveyard of St Mary's Church, and speaking of the church, have you ever wondered why confetti is thrown at weddings? Thomas Dealtry, rector from 1872–1878, is credited with having introduced the habit of throwing confetti, from his observation of rice thrown at Hindu weddings in his previous position as Archdeacon of Madras
There’s the second most Northerly vineyard in the UK here too and for some strange reason, the boundaries include Woodlesford Lock. Otherwise the unparished area of Woodlesford lies to the South of the village of SWILLINGTON.

Brixworth Church In Snow 1
Built in the early English kingdom and a famous place in the times of King Offa, it is thought that there may have been Byzantine influence in the design of this church. It is said to have been the largest building north of the Alps.
Ironstone from the region was used in its construction. There are two other views available also.
