I'm Ecton born and bred however now live 500 miles away, on the west coast of Scotland.
A book was written by and about the village a few years ago and I was very surprised when browsing through my copy to find myself in a photograph of the school kids dancing round the Maypole.

My parents kept our caravan at Overstone - on the far side near the lake. One year, 1953 I think, the National Caravan Rally came to Overstone and the field filled up with hundreds of caravans. I think this photo is the milk queue!

Originally part of the Wantage family estate, it boasted a museum (formerly the Manor House), a church, three lakes, aviaries, and a bandstand. It was a truly magical place for a young boy in...

Most of the local population still mourn the passing of this part of the old town. The public house at the top of Midland Road was The Old Kings Arms (this became Jones the furnishers and... [more]

Northamptonshire Photographic Memories
Dominating this photograph is the richly-decorated Saxon tower of the church of All Saints, standing sentinel and soaring above the rooftops of the village. The Earl of Huntingdon lived nearby, and the village gets the other half of its name from his association with barley farming. The Queen Mother has made several visits to Earls Barton.

Note the 1950s swan's... [more]
