This context appraisal, based on fieldwork and a study of the existing literature, expands on the particular features of the towns of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and a number of surrounding villages. The section begins with an analysis of West Northamptonshire at the national and regional levels. It covers the geographical, historic, socio-economic and spatial features that shaped its development and led to the current conditions. This is followed by a review of each town, examining the typology of movement; the historic development; and the streetscape, townscape and architecture of the various areas within each town. Together these elements embody the local distinctiveness of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and their surrounding villages. The information contained in this section is not only applicable to development within the WNDC’s boundary but can also be drawn upon in the consideration of new development within the

    Recollections of the First Hundred Years of Badby and Fawsley Women’S

    Recollections of the first hundred years of Badby and Fawsley Women’s Institute 1918 – 2018 Preface The original purpose of the Women's Institute was to bring together women of the countryside who might otherwise be isolated. Badby and Fawsley W.I. was formed in February, 1918 by Lady Julia Knightley of Fawsley Hall. It enabled local women to meet with others who lived in a rural setting. Activities and meetings leant toward domestic matters. Lady Knightley wished that the ladies of Badby be joined together by the 'common ideals of truth, tolerance, justice and friendship'. Protocol had to be, and was, adhered to rigidly, with some members getting irate if it was not. Rules were kept. Institutes at the beginning were considerably helped and financed by the Board of Agriculture but by 1922 the Institutes had to stand on their own feet. Lady Knightley was, inevitably, chosen as the first President. She remained President for 15 years until she moved from Fawsley. It had been her drive and energy which had caused the group’s inception because she strongly believed that belonging to the Institute would “brighten the lives and widen the outlook of the women who lived in the country districts.” Sadly all Archive material from early years has been mislaid. It was thought that it had been lodged at the County Archives but searches there have drawn a blank. 1 Meetings The first meetings were held in the ‘club room’ of the Maltsters, and then in a small room which was formerly the infant’s school room.

    Organised by the Friends of the Canal Museum Registered Charity No. 1121146

    Organised by The Friends of The Canal Museum Registered charity no. 1121146 Once again on behalf of the Friends of The Canal Museum, the Museum staff and the community of Stoke Bruerne, I am delighted to welcome you to our Village at War weekend - the fourth time the event has been held. It has taken months of planning, involving a vast number of volunteer hours. But as we do not receive financial assistance of any kind towards its organisation, I am sure, therefore, that you appreciate your donation of £5 helps greatly towards the significant costs incurred. Your donation includes the following attractions: * Visit to The Canal Museum (normally £4.75 per person) * Tea dance * George Formby tribute concert * l940s sing-along with the ever-popular Lola Lamour * Archive film show * Fashion show * Hurricane display and fly-past Quite simply, if we are unable to meet our actual costs, it is unlikely an event of this type could be organised again. This indeed would be a great pity. Pleasingly, the Village at War weekend was judged to be the Best Event in the East Midlands in the 2010 Renaissance and Heritage Awards competition - an achieve- ment which makes us very proud and is a real spur to our volunteers. As always, may I ask you to respect the privacy of local residents, be responsible with litter and keep dogs on leads. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your visit to Stoke Bruerne and that we shall receive the “all clear” so that we can do it all again next year. Very many sincere thanks for your support.
