Seller Insight Langdale is a detached modern house in popular Naseby. For the present owners it was the perfect property, as they were looking for a bigger home in the centre of the village, with an open plan design and a reasonable garden. They were in a good position to judge the fine qualities of the house as they lived ten doors away and watched the progress of the build. Living in Naseby they already knew that it offers a good life style. Best known as a battle site during The Civil War, it is today a community minded and friendly village, with clubs and societies based around the village hall. There is a good primary school, village shop and two pubs. The owners enjoy the close proximity to Market Harborough, where you can find excellent shopping plus a pleasing variety of leisure and cultural activities. The owners love the light filled house where the open plan design creates a family friendly sociable space, where they can cook and chat to friends gathered round the table; or supervise homework sessions. It is a streamlined and harmonious area which flows naturally into the generous lounge. Their main pleasure is gained from the natural flow of the room into the garden. With doors wide open, the reception room blends seamlessly with the terrace. It makes a superb al fresco summer dining room and guests can spill out for drinks and conversation. Langdale has a warm and inviting atmosphere and is perfect for entertaining. The light atmosphere continues to the first floor where the spacious master bedroom suite is a welcome adult sanctuary, with its en suite and views across the neighbouring fields. The tranquil garden is on two levels, and from the patio a few steps leads you up to the lawn which sweeps towards the end of the garden, where the neighbouring fields form a charming backdrop. The garden is very child friendly and presently the swing and climbing frame are positioned where the children can enjoy watching the changing seasons across the countryside. The present owners have loved the time they have spent in Langdale and are sorry to leave but take away many happy memories. NORTHAMPTON Lying on the banks of the river Nene, Northampton is one of the largest towns in the UK and the county town of Northamptonshire. The town is ideally located, approximately 67 miles north-west of London and 50 miles south-east of Birmingham. The earliest reference to Northampton in writing occurred in 914 under the name Ham tune, literally meaning “home town”. The prefix “North” was added later to distinguish it from other towns called Hampton, most prominently Southampton. Present-day Northampton is the latest in a series of settlements that began in the Bronze Age.. The town boasts one of Britains largest and most historic market squares, which still hosts regular craft and farmers markets. The Northampton Leisure Trust has four leisure centres across Northampton: Danes Camp, Lings Forum, Mounts Baths and Duston Sports Centre. There are also the action centres Benham Sports Arena and King’s Park Tennis Centre as well as the Delapre Public Golf Course. The Royal and Derngate Theater is one of the main arts and entertinment centers in the town , along with the smaller Northampton Playhouse and the Cripps Theater. There are also two cinemas and an arts house which plays non-mainstream productions. Popular annual events include Northampton Balloon Festival, Northampton Carnival, the Delapre Beer Festival, the Dragonboat Race, the Umbrella Fair, Diwali celebrations and St Crispins Fair. This delightful property is situated in the sought after historic village of Naseby known for the Battle of Naseby which took place in 1645 during The English Civil War, the famous battleground is within walking distance. The towns of Northampton and Rugby are approximately 14 miles equidistant to the south and west respectively and lovely Market Harborough is just seven miles to the north. Naseby is a thriving village, steeped in history with two public houses, a village hall, sports courts, church and locally prized general store with delicatessen. There is a wide selection of state and independent schooling in the area including preparatory schools at Maidwell Hall, Spratton Hall and Bilton Grange. Naseby’s own primary school was rated ‘outstanding’ in their most recent Ofsted report. Both primary and secondary schooling is available at Pitsford School.

  • Northamptonshire Past & Present: Volume 5, No 4, 1976
    NOR THAMPTONS ~HIRE'~~ PAST & PRESENT ~nqitnt and MODERN . .. large or small. Fine building is synonymous with Robert Marriott Ltd., a member of the Robert Marriott Group, famous for quality building since 1890. In the past 80 years Marriotts have established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship on the largest and small­ est scales. Whether it is a £7,000,000 housing contract near Bletchley, a new head­ quarters for Buckinghamshire County Council at Aylesbury (right) or restor­ ation and alterations to Easton Maudit Church (left) Marriotts have the experi­ ence, the expertise and the men to carry out work of the most exacting standards and to a strict schedule. In the last century Marriotts made a name for itself by the skill of its crafts­ men employed on restoring buildings of great historical importance. A re­ markable tribute to the firm's founder, the late Mr. Robert Marriott was paid in 1948 by Sir Albert Richardson, later President of the Royal Academy, when he said: "He was a master builder of the calibre of the Grimbolds and other famous country men. He spared no pains and placed ultimate good before financial gain. No mean craftsman him­ self, he demanded similar excellence from his helpers." Three-quarters of a century later Marriotts' highly specialised Special Projects Division displays the same inherent skills in the same delicate work on buildings throughout the Midlands. To date Hatfield House, Long Melford Hall in Suffolk, the Branch Library at Earls Barton, the restoration of Castle Cottage at Higham Ferrers, Fisons Ltd., Cambridge, Greens Norton School, Woburn Abbey restorations and the Falcon Inn, Castle Ashby, all bear witness to the craftsmanship of Marriotts.

Visibility - Poor at first due to light fog, but then good. Battlefield Ground conditions - Firm, good for cavalry.

The tactical advantage was on the Parliament side. They had a numerical advantage in troops and these troops were all men of Cromwell's New Model Army of professional officers and soldiers who were well paid and trained. The daily rate of pay was 8 pence for infantry and 2 shillings for cavalry. The Royalist troops were smaller in number, and this was partly because King Charles had been forced to send over 3,000 troops, under the command of Lord Goring, to relieve the siege of Taunton. In spite of a summons from the King to join the battle, Lord Goring refused to return.
