Also famed for its boot and shoe trade, centred on Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough & Rushden The county stretches from Stamford in the north east to Aynho in the south west – 73 miles.

The Great Northern in 1850 linked London to Doncaster and led to growth of Peterborough. The Midland Railway in 1857 linked Kettering, Wellingborough with London At height of the railways, there were 73 stations in the county, now 6 – easy for folks to travel around. Many historic buildings such as Althorp House, Burghley, Boughton House, Easton Neston, Castle Ashby, Kirby Hall and Rockingham Castle. Administration Pre 1541 Northamptonshire was in the Diocese of Lincoln. In 1541 Diocese of Peterborough was created. Northamptonshire Archives is the Diocesan Record Office County divided up into Hundreds (administrative areas) – there is a list on Northants FHS website To April 2021, there were seven Borough Councils and 1 County Councils – now changed to two unitary authorities – West Northamptonshire and North Northamptonshire.

Use them to find rent books, surveys, farm tenancies, leases tradesmen’s accounts, servant’s wages, charity school records. Wills and probate – generally, testators from the east of the county would have their will proved at Peterborough Consistory Court and those in south/west at Northampton Archdeaconry Court.

Manorial records for Northamptonshire – have been indexed in a recent project and now available to search on National Archives Manorial Document Register, documents pre 1731 are likely to be in Latin.

Wherever possible, data has been extracted at locality level and comparison with the rest of the county, the region and England has been carried out. MAIN FINDINGS The areas in which Kettering performs very similarly to the national average are detailed below. The district has no indicators in which it performs worse than the national average or the rest of the county: Life expectancy at birth for females (third lowest in the county) School exclusions Under 18 conceptions Smoking at the time of delivery Excess weight in Reception and Year 6 pupils Alcohol specific hospital stays in under 18s (second highest rate in the county) Admissions to A&E due to self-harm in under 18s (second highest in the county) 2 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016 KETTERING OVERVIEW DEMOGRAPHY As a locality, a number of Kettering’s demographics conform with the Northamptonshire picture, particularly around household deprivation, occupational structure, qualifications and age. Kettering has a population of around 95,700, the second largest in the county, and the second highest number of households, although the average household size is second lowest in Northamptonshire. The area is predominantly White with a small BME population. Rather than spread evenly across a number of ethnic groups, over 50% fall within the Asian community.

I went on a very good holiday to the vale of Glamorgan, an area I have never been to before, which had some interesting bells and churches and very varied scenery. Back to Easter Saturday and the sponsored walk and cycle ride. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with about 40 people walking and cycling. The cyclists went round Rutland Water with or without the peninsular and the walkers walked round the peninsular. The best part of the walk was the bluebell woods and at one place a whole field full of them. After we had finished the walk we met the cyclists at the Pub at Manton which was packed inside and out with everyone enjoying the lovely weather.
