I was stationed at Melchbourne 1948/49 and used to visit the Temperance Cafe in the High Street. I would like to know more about Melchbourne House after it was handed back. When I was there it was in a dreadful state of repair. I would think it must now be a grand house again. During the war I think the... [more]

Northamptonshire Photographic Memories
Close to the county boundary with Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire, the unusually-named village of Bozeat was at the heart of a thriving weaving industry 600 years ago; the Weavers' Guild donated a rich assortment of gifts to the church.
