It is very disappointing to note that, despite the installation of three ‘poo bins’ around the village, thoughtless dog owners are failing to clear up after their pets, often within very short distances of the bins. The problem is particularly prevalent, within a few yards of the bin, on the path leading from Lower Street, Pury End up to Park Lane. The Parish Council is doing its best but needs everyone to help, if Paulerspury parish is to remain a lovely place in which to live. THE PAULERSPURY PLAYERS’ 30th Anniversary Celebration Variety Show Sat 8th Sept There have been 30 Years of The Paulerspury Players – Oh yes there have! 14,000 panto’ seats sold and over £70,000 donated in cash and in kind to local causes over that time. We’ve decided we really must celebrate such a long and successful run with a rather special show. Some of the original stars of our early shows have agreed to reprise songs, sketches and Music Hall favourites from way back; add in some excellent comedy, humour and music of almost every genre – and you have a unique show that’s not to be missed! September 8th is the date to remember, and I suggest you reserve your tickets early to avoid disappointment. The Show will include: Old Time Music Hall; Folk and Country Music; Jazz and Blues; Barbershop Quartet; Morecombe and Wise and Two Ronnies sketches; Comedy acts – old favourites and a chance to join in - all in the comfort of our village hall with a drinks bar and a sit down meal in the interval.

  • The Defeat of Boudicca's Rebellion
    Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni and leader of the rebellion against Roman domination, was defeated in battle in 61 A.D. Fact. But where was that battle fought and how did the outnumbered Romans manage to win? In this brief book local military historian Martin Marix Evans explains his theory that the fight took place just south of Towcester in Northamptonshire. His version of the story informed the August 2004 BBC Battlefield Britain programme on the rebellion, and this book includes a guide to the public footpaths visitors can use to see the site for themselves. Published by Gemini Press, Towcester © Martin Marix Evans, 2004. Artwork by courtesy of Osprey Publishing, Oxford. Cover illustration: A British chariot warrior of the 1st century. © Osprey Publishing Ltd Martin Marix Evans h Introduction Local tradition has it that a battle was fought in ancient times at Toothole or Toothill, south of Towcester. This name happens also to be that of a field to the left of the stream that flows through Cuttle Mill, three kilometres (two miles) south-east of the town, towards the River Tove. The legends go as far as claiming it as the site of Boudicca’s defeat by the Romans in AD61. Given that the site is close to the Roman road we know as Watling Street, added to which Towcester itself was a Roman town, the story might not be untrue; at least the possibility of its being true seemed to me worth investigating. A number of questions had to be answered: What were the opposing forces like? What were their fighting methods and usual tactics? What reports survive of these events? What clues do we have about the physical characteristics of the location in which the battle took place? Is there a way in which we can home in on the likely location, either by examining the landscape or by considering military strategy or, best of all, both of these? These questions are in no particular order because all of them matter.
