Northampton is mentioned in Domesday as having 14 derelict burgess's houses out of a total of 61. At the time it was known as Hamtun meaning 'home farm or homestead' with the 'north' being added in the 11th century to distinguish it from Southampton.
Northampton is situated on the River Nene and has a long history with various battles being fought here and one of the Eleanor Crosses can still be seen at Hardingstone. It is the county town famed for the manufacture of shoes dating back to the Middle Ages. The famous poet, John Clare, spent the last years of his life at St Andrews Asylum. The town centre has some attractive buildings largely built after a major fire in the 17th century.
