The Barn at Braunston

‘Even English people don’t know where Northamptonshire is’ as the county is dubbed ‘The Notswolds’ (the Northants Cotswolds) this week by The Times newspaper. Northamptonshire villages and country houses are just as pretty yet more affordable!

We are often asked ‘how close is the canal?’
X marks the spot where we are.

Lots of activity on the canal this morning as boats pass through for the Crick boat show.

I was on my daily dog walk this morning and called into the Boat Shop at Bottom Lock and bought this lovely print which I’ve had my eye on for quite some time, finally bought it and popped in a frame.

We discovered a rich history in Daventry (just 3 miles from Braunston). Daventry used to be full of coaching inns. 70 carriages a day on route to Coventry, Birmingham and Ireland would stopover. King Charles I stayed in Daventry just before the battle of Naseby. Who knew!
