    A History of Apethorpe – by Richard Parkinson 2012 ______Part 1 - Iron Age to the Romans

    A history of Apethorpe – by Richard Parkinson 2012 _________________________________________________ Part 1 - Iron age to the Romans Click the photo to open in larger window In an aerial photograph taken in 1947, there are signs of a pre-historic settlement here consisting of roundhouses and enclosures making up small scale farms probably of Iron Age origin. The closest is about 1OO metres to the west of the Hall and consisting of enclosures and ditch complexes with prehistoric pottery and small amounts of metal work debris found. A later Romano British settlement survives nearby and 1 km away there are signs of an extensive Roman pottery, Nene Valley and Samian ware, (a bright red pottery mostly manufactured in Gaul and Germany in the 1st to 4th century). There is a site of a Roman villa begun toward the end of the 1st Century and gradually extended until it ended up in the 4th century as an imposing courtyard villa with hypercast and bath, and with a formal approach from the south. It was partly excavated in 1859 and could well have functioned as an estate centre. Following the Roman retreat at the beginning of the fifth century we see small paddocks of unequal size and orientation, so people continued to live here during the so called dark ages with the Danes and Vikings slowly conquering the area. At this time the estate appears to have shrunk back to its pre- Roman size at this time. You have to imagine that most of the land around here was covered in forest and that the inhabitants could not and did not travel far.

Introduction 1.1 Collectively, Corby Borough Council, East Northamptonshire District Council, Kettering Borough Council and the Borough Council of Wellingborough form North Northamptonshire. The authorities, along with Northamptonshire County Council, functioning through a statutory Joint Planning Committee, cooperate on strategic planning including the identification of infrastructure to support development and growth. 1.2 This is the first comprehensive refresh of the initial Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) first published in January 2015. As stated in the original document this is a live set of Infrastructure requirements and will be updated periodically as necessary. The IDP is a supporting document for the Joint Core Strategy (JCS), identifying the strategic priorities for the delivery of key infrastructure needed to support the implementation of the JCS over the plan period 2011 - 2031. 1.3 This document explains the approach taken to identifying the infrastructure need, importance, delivery and an assessment of potential risk.
  • Iron Production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire in Antiquity by Frances Condron

    Iron Production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire in Antiquity by Frances Condron

    Iron Production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire in Antiquity by Frances Condron Iron production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire during the Roman period is well attested, though to date the region has not been considered one of importance. This paper outlines the range of settlements involved in smelting and smithing, and suggests models for the organisation of production and development through time. It is suggested that surplus iron was being made and transported outside the region, possibly to the northern garrisons, following the archaeologically documented movement of lower Nene Valley wares. A gazetteer of smelting and smithing sites is provided. Iron production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire during the Roman period is well attested, though to date the region has not been considered one of importance. Two iron-working regions of note have been revealed, on the Weald of Kent (Cleere 1974; Cleere & Crossley 1985), and in the Forest of Dean (Fulford & Allen 1992). In the East Midlands, the range of settlements involved and duration of production indicate a long and complex history of iron working, in some cases showing continuity from late Iron Age practices. However, there were clearly developments both in the nature and scale of production, at the top end of the scale indicative of planned operations. This paper explores the organisation of this production within sites and across the region, and outlines possible trade networks. The transition from Iron Age to Roman saw the introduction of new iron working technology (the shaft furnace in particular), and of equal significance, a shift in the organisation of production.
