SPRING COURSE
Lost and Deserted Villages of Northamptonshire
Tutor Ted Walmsley
In the past the rural landscape of Northamptonshire boasted over 400 villages.  Some grew to become market towns or were swallowed up by urban expansion; others became deserted and lost to our landscape.  Some have shrunken in size with only a manor house, church or isolated farm marking the original site.  This course studies a selection of these villages, examining locations, reasons for their real demise and the evidence that can still be found in the landscape.
10 meetings Tuesday 2-3.30pm at Nassington Village Hall.
Starting 6th January 2009
Fee: T.B.A.
