MenuNorthampton, Northamptonshire
Northampton is a large market town in Northamptonshire, of which it is the county town. The town stands on the River Nene and is a mixture of old and new; the town is an ancient borough and the town centre has many historic buildings, but Northampton was designed a New Town in 1968 and consequently all around it are modern suburbs. Northampton is famed as the major centre of shoemaking and other leather industries. The Church of The Holy Sepulchre is one of the largest and best-preserved round churches in England. 78 Derngate is a Georgian Town House remodelled by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for Wenman Joseph Bassett-Lowke in 1916-17. The town is within the council area of West Northamptonshire.
