Described as ‘in the manner of Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger’ it was presumably painted between Hatton’s accession to the Garter in 1588 and his death in 1591. The location and ownership of the original are unknown, and it was previously unrecorded by the National Portrait Gallery. It Number 64 2011 £3.50 may possibly be connected with a portrait of Hatton, formerly in the possession of Northamptonshire Record Society the Drake family at Shardeloes, Amersham, sold at Christie’s on 26 July 1957 (Lot 123) and again at Sotheby’s on 4 July 2002. Permission to reproduce this image has been given by Robert Hatton (USA), who has also drawn the author’s attention to some additional sources relating to Holdenby House.

Number 64 ISSN 01490 9131 Typeset by John Hardaker, Wollaston, Northamptonshire and printed by Information Press Ltd., Eynsham, Oxford, OX29 4JB 3 THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RECORD SOCIETY (FOUNDED IN 1920) WOOTTON HALL PARK, NORTHAMPTON NN4 8BQ President Lady Juliet Townsend LVO NOTES AND NEWS The VCH Trust is looking ahead to the next volume, VIII, which will cover Towcester and around six villages in the immediate neighbourhood. This is expected to be written on a more collaborative and voluntary basis. Such an approach will allow the Trustees to draw on a wide range of expertise and scholarship. It will also enable work to proceed as funds are raised and for draft texts to be posted on the VCH website as they are written for comment by local people. Local support is vital for the Trust in deciding to commit the time and resources necessary as all the expense of research and writing must be found locally. Knowing that local people are behind the project is important to the Trust who can then feel assured that the project can be carried through to a successful conclusion. If anyone has material or research knowledge that might be useful, please contact the Trust’s secretary, David Harries, either through the NRS office or on 01604-830117. * * * * * Three of the Society’s publications have been made available on our website at www.northamptonshirerecordsociety.org.uk. The first volume to be scanned was David Hall’s The Open Fields of Northamptonshire; this was quickly followed by Northamptonshire Militia Lists 1777 and Northamptonshire Miscellany. To view these documents, on the home page of the website first select Publications, then select e-Books. There will be found a short introduction together with a link to download the Adobe reader if not already installed on your PC. The available volumes are listed on the left hand side of this page. Each volume has its own page which lists its contents and the page range of each chapter and/or section together with the file size. Although the index(es) to each volume are included, it has not been possible to provide links from the index directly to the text. * * * * * Following on from our paper last year on Dr Thomas Fuller, the author M. J. Cohen has sent us a piece about Latham’s Hospital in Oundle and its exemplary founder, Nicholas Latham, Rector of Barnwell St Andrew from the age of 21 until his death at 72. In May of this year the Hospital celebrated 400 years as a home for women. Fuller said of Latham: ‘This man had no considerable estate left him … nor ever held more than one moderate benefice worth £160 per annum. And yet, by God’s blessing on his vivacious frugality he got so great an estate … and founded a most beautiful almshouse at Oundle.’ Not only was he astute in his investments but he also had great administrative vision and is an early example of transparency in his dealings with the poor women. The registers meticulously recorded the comings and goings from 1612 to the present. Occasionally, we get a vivid snapshot: ‘10th February 1614 Joane Dust was expelled forth of the house for her misdemeanour to my swans and soo troublesome to all the house by railling and using bad speeches to her sisters.’ As the Hospital enters its fifth century and as our population ages, Nicholas Latham’s prayer for the house inscribed over the great fireplace has kept its relevance. ‘In our tender age Thou didst cause our parents and friends … carefully to look unto us when we were not able to help ourselves and in our middle years didst give us health and strength of body to labour in our callings … and now in our old age Thou wouldst not leave nor forsake us but hast of thy mercy stirred up others to have compassion 4 northamptonshire past and present unto us and to help our infirmities for these and all other Thy Bountiful Blessings bestowed unto us we bow the knee of our hearts and give thee thanks …’ (From The Latham Story compiled by B. Rowbottom of Oundle in 1989) * * * * * I hope you all agree that having three sections in full colour is a positive step forward. As usual, my thanks go to the authors for their excellent material and to David Hall and David Harries for their support in producing the journal. Barbara Hornby Notes on Contributors Malcolm Deacon has spent a lifetime enthusing others about Northamptonshire history. He has been a Northampton headmaster as well as minister (1991-2002) of Castle Hill United Reformed Church in Northampton. He has taught history in adult education, is a speaker on a variety of historical subjects and leads heritage groups. He is pursuing an active ‘retirement’ by writing and publishing, notably a biography of Philip Doddridge in 1980. Ron Greenall first came to work in Northamptonshire in 1965 as resident tutor in Northampton for the University of Leicester’s Department of Adult Education. He has since lectured and written exclusively on the history of the county. For 26 years he was successively editor of this journal and general editor of the Society’s main series volumes. He is presently working on a history of Chartism in Northamptonshire. Tony Horner was led to the study of local history via the family history route. He was born, and now lives, in Kingsthorpe, Northampton. His book, Kingsthorpe: A Royal Manor Explored, was published in 2005. Tony is currently involved in historical research with the Friends of Thornton Park, Kingsthorpe. He is also transcribing the 1866-1899 diaries of Mary Susan Thornton. Briony McDonagh is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Nottingham.

  • Proposed Submission Settlements and Countryside Local Plan Part 2
    Foreword The Daventry District Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2) is a key document that will help to shape the future of the District. When this document is adopted, it will sit alongside the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (Adopted 2014) and made Neighbourhood Development Plans. These will collectively be the basis for helping to guide and shape the development and use of land across the District. This document is therefore very important for helping to shape the future of the District. This document is the Proposed Submission Version, which builds on the Issues and Options and Emerging Draft consultations undertaken in early 2016 and late 2017. We are grateful to everyone who responded to those consultations, your views have been taken into account in preparing this plan. This plan is based on a thorough evidence base which is set out on the Council’s website. Further details of the consultation are set out within the document including how you can respond, it is important to note that comments must relate to legal compliance and the tests of soundness and be made on the prescribed response form. The consultation also includes a series of exhibitions taking place in early September which you are encouraged to attend. Following consultation on this document, the Council will then consider the responses received before submitting the plan, the responses and other supporting information. This will be undertaken by an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. Adoption is anticipated to take place in summer 2019. We look forward to your participation.

  • Cottesbrooke Conservation Area Review
    Slide 1 Cottesbrooke Conservation Area Review 28th July 2021 West Northamptonshire Council Slide 2 Rhian Morgan – Heritage Policy Officer Anna Wilson – Heritage Policy Assistant Slide 3 Conservation Areas in the Daventry Area • District wide conservation areas review- including Cottesbrooke • First designated in 2000 • First opportunity in over 20 years to appraise the conservation area The council has a statutory duty to undertake conservation area reviews, both of its existing conservation areas as well as exploring the possibility of new designations, so a district-wide review is currently being undertaken which includes Cottesbrooke. Conservation areas form some of the most architecturally and historically interesting settlements in the Daventry area and Cottesbrooke certainly falls into that category with its variety of historic buildings, the historic layout of the village, the shrunken medieval settlement earthworks and its connection to Cottesbrooke Hall, gardens and landscape park. Cottesbrooke was first designated as a conservation area in 2000 and it hasn’t been reviewed since then. So it’s over 20 years since the last review and, therefore, it is a good opportunity to look at the current boundary to see if it’s fit for purpose or if there are any areas that have changed during that period which means they no longer merit being in the conservation area. As part of this process, an up-to-date appraisal and management plan will be produced, which conforms with current best practice and both national and local policy. If the appraisal
