Davidge, referred to the outstanding work of Canon Geoffrey Carnell who had been a member since 1966, and a council member from 1975 to 2011. Acting as running mate to Sir Hereward Wake and, as Speaker Secretary between 1972 and 1995, Canon Carnell had brought a series of eminent nationally-known speakers to address the Society, among them Max Hastings; The Rt Hon Norman St John Stevas; Sir Philip Magnus; Victor Hatley; Owen Chadwick; Gervase Jackson-Stops; and the current President, Lady Juliet Townsend. In recognition of this service, the council had agreed to recommend that he be made an Honorary Life Member of the Society. This was supported unanimously and Canon Carnell replied accordingly. * * * * * Jacqui Minchinton, Library Committee Chairman, greeting members at the Library Open Morning to view a Photographic Exhibition reflecting a History of the Society held on 15 October 2011. It is hoped to arrange similar events in the future. * * * * * From Martin Marix Evans we have received the following on Naseby: Since 2008 it has been possible to visit the scene of the decisive battle of the English Civil War at Naseby and follow the events of that fateful day independently, using the Battlefield Trail described and mapped in a leaflet or downloaded from the www.naseby.com website. In 2011 that trail was augmented, through the generosity of the landowners, by opening up the western notes and news 5 flank of the battlefield with a permissive footpath. The next possible development, given the success of the application for outline planning permission, is the drive to fund and build a visitor centre. The task so far has taken 12 years. Early in 2008 land was acquired by a private group of supporters with a view to selling it to the charity for a visitor centre. Feasibility studies have now been completed for a Living History Centre which will act as the visitor facility, and funds are being sought. The Centre is planned as a group of buildings inspired by seventeenth-century examples, each to be a gallery devoted to a specific topic. They are: • The Great Hall – based on Naseby tithe barn, to provide an auditorium, a cafeteria, offices, toilets and reception area. • The Naseby Battlefield Gallery – the campaign and the battle, including the evidence: contemporary writings, archaeological finds and terrain analysis. • The Royal Armouries Gallery – arms, armour, armies and tactics of the seventeenth century. • The People, Politics and Religion Gallery – The Stuart kingdoms, Parliament and religion, leading to political reform, religious toleration, the role of women and the impact of the new mass media in literature and propaganda. • The Care and Healing in the Seventeenth Century Gallery – medicine and nursing in peace and war; healthcare in village life and animal welfare. • The Craft, Countryside and Wildlife Gallery – Landscape, agriculture and stock-breeding and associated crafts and wildlife in the seventeenth century and today. • The Study and Resources Centre – the Library, with remote and real access, seminar rooms, visitor re-enactment facilities. * * * * * As usual I would like to thank the authors and reviewers for the excellent material, and David Hall and David Harries for their support. Remember to consult the website for the latest about the Society: www.northamptonshirerecordsociety.org.uk. Barbara Hornby Notes on Contributors Omitted from last year’s biographies of the authors was one for Margaret Hawkins who wrote the article entitled ‘The Impact of the Grand Junction Canal on Four Northampton- shire Villages 1793-1850’: Margaret Hawkins worked for many years as a librarian in Northamptonshire and elsewhere. She undertook an MA in English Local History at the University of Leicester as a retirement hobby. For her dissertation, she looked into the relationship between the Grand Junction Canal and some of the communities it passed through. This article is based on that work. Ian Addis was born, raised and educated in Kettering. He taught for over 30 years in local schools. After almost 20 years as a headteacher, he joined the staff of the School of Education at the University of Northampton. He has written several books for use in primary schools and a number of publications related to his two great interests – literature and sport. His latest project researching Kettering’s parks and playing fields unearthed numerous previously unpublished personalities, most notably William Cattell. [email protected] Douglas Arden is a criminal lawyer with an abiding interest in fourteenth-century Northamptonshire, especially in a cluster of military families holding lands in Spratton, Holdenby and Brixworth. Rosie Garwood, after a career teaching History at a Sixth Form college in Cambridge, decided to change direction by studying for a Masters degree in The Country House: Art, 6 northamptonshire past and present History and Literature at the University of Leicester. This article is based on her dissertation. Rosie is planning to continue her research by embarking on a PhD. [email protected] R.L. 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 extensively 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

Allen Shoaf Major Department: English This study investigated the relationship between King Richard II’s manipulations of semiotics and the appearance of signs in the fourteenth-century text, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Many critics have noted that the Gawain-poet presents conflicting responses to signs in the poem; I argue that these contradictory messages may be directly linked to the program of kingship under Richard II.

With the rise of rural house prices in recent years and the lack of available properties, local people are being forced to move away from their community in order to find housing they can afford. Daventry District has a growing population, to add to this the structure and size of households is also changing. When new households are formed or circumstances change, people may find their home unsuitable and it is therefore important that there is an adequate amount of housing to accommodate their needs. The provision of affordable housing is high on Daventry District Council’s agenda, as part of our vision to build a better district it is prioritised under the objective: “Healthy, Safe and Strong Communities and Individuals”. To this end the Council has been undertaking a rolling programme of affordable housing provision, which is based on robust evidence of housing need and local information – provided by Housing Needs Surveys. This report summarises the findings of the Housing Needs Survey in Canons Ashby, undertaken in October/November 2011. Strategic and Planning Context Daventry District Council has a number of policies and strategies to help deliver housing in both planning policy and housing strategy terms.

    HOUSING LDF BACKGROUND EVIDENCE WELLINGBOROUGH RURAL HOUSING ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY AND SITE SELECTION(2010) Planning Policy Site Specific DPD – Preferred Options: October 2010 1 2 Wellingborough rural housing allocations: Methodology and site selection - October 2010 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Site Specific Plan will include policies and proposals that relate to particular sites and areas within the Borough. It will include allocations for housing, employment and other land uses as well as policies to assist in the determination of planning applications. 1.2 This background paper describes the selection criteria and methodology used to support the identification of preferred housing sites within the rural areas of Wellingborough as part of the Site Specific Proposals Development Plan Document – Preferred Options (referred to hereafter as the ‘Site Specific Plan’). 2.0 Background 2.1 The North Northamptonshire Core Spatial Strategy (CSS) requires provision to be made for an indicative 1210 dwellings in the rural area of the Borough between 2001 and 2021. Taking account of completions and existing commitments, there was a need to allocate land in order to accommodate a further 218 dwellings at April 2010. 2.2 The Government’s policy in PPS3 is to ensure that housing is developed in suitable locations which offer a range of community facilities and with good access to jobs, key services and infrastructure. This should be achieved by making effective use of land and existing infrastructure. The priority for development should be previously developed land, in particular vacant and derelict sites. 2.3 The background report entitled ‘Rural Settlement Hierarchy’1 identified Earls Barton, Finedon, Irchester and Wollaston as the most sustainable rural settlements.
