Walk through the beautiful Grade Il listed Arch Gate, originally a lodge gateway and now acting as the opening to the sensational Badby Woods.

Nice church good for a wonder to grave yard was closed due to downed trees

Beautiful place to walk around look out for the musket holes

Ventilation chimney for the grand Union Canal Tunnel below wow.

Just south of Northampton, Blisworth is a pleasant village on the Grand Union Canal. It has long been associated with rail travel and a station was built here for the London to Birmingham line, as well as a majestic arched bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson. The station has since gone but the West Coast Mainline passes close to the village. As well as the canal's towpath, nearby Salcey Forest will also interest walkers. There are a range of facilities and three waymarked walking trails that explore the woodland.

This landmark is a ventilation tunnel for the Grand Union Canal, which passes under the field through the Blisworth Tunnel at this point.

The Battle of Edgecote Moor took place 6 miles (9.7 km) north east of Banbury, Oxfordshire, in what is now the civil parish of Chipping Warden and Edgcote, England on 26 July 1469 during the Wars of the Roses. The site of the battle was actually Danes Moor in Northamptonshire, at a crossing of a tributary of the River Cherwell. The battle saw supporters of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, defeat the forces of King Edward IV, leading to the king's capitulation soon afterwards.

Canons Ashby Priory was an Augustinian priory at Canons Ashby, Northamptonshire, England. History The Priory was founded by Stephen la Leye on a site to the south of the present church between 1147 and 1151 in the reign of Henry II. In 1253 the Augustinians were granted a licence to dig the Norwell, which still exists north of the present church, to supply water to the priory. In 1537 after the Dissolution of the Monasteries the Crown granted the priory and its estates to Sir Francis Bryan,[1] a close ally of Henry VIII. Bryan held the estate for only about a year before selling it in 1538 to Sir John Cope,[1] a wealthy Banbury lawyer. Sir John's daughter Elizabeth inherited what is thought to have been the priory farmhouse [wrong – Wilkyns farm was part of John Dryden's inheritance. Copes Ashbie – across the road – was inherited by Elizabeth's brother, who died early leaving his sons as Wards of the Dryden family]. In 1551 she married John Dryden, who extended the building to form the earliest parts of Canons Ashby House. Part of the building survives: the Church of England parish church of St Mary dates from about 1250 and this, together with Canons Ashby House, is now owned by the National Trust. Its power and size can be judged by its outlying buildings which cover a large area of the surrounding countryside. The remains of the priory's hospitalium survive as the monastic building centred on the parish church of Maidford, about 5 miles (8 km) away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canons_Ashby_Priory
