A quick history
Archaeological digs around Hunsbury Meadows have found evidence of settlements dating back to the Bronze Age, but it was during the Middle Ages that the local area began to grow, especially thanks to the importance of Northampton Castle.

The Great Fire of Northampton destroyed many buildings in the 17th century, but after rebuilding, Northampton began to thrive again, especially after the Grand Union Canal and railways connected the city with the rest of the country. Northampton became a designated ‘new town’ in the 1960’s, and officially became a city at the turn of the Millennium.
