I was a pupil at Whittlebury College 1962-1964 . The school was run by Major Meager and his wife as a sort of "crammer" for those of us who needed to get more help for O and A levels. The teachers were perhaps not the best in the county but did help many to get the O levels that were needed, including... [more]

Now living in Australia, when we think of England we think of the Brave Old Oak when it was kept by Tony and Sylvia Hackett. What a magical Inn, what a magnificient couple, they represented everything unique about English Innkeeping. Friends tell us it is now a pigstye patronised by yobs, a disgrace to a lovely English Market Town

I remember the Sunday March to Tiffield Church from St John's School and return. I remember masters there - Betteridge, Faid, Wooley and the young lads 'lusting' after Headmaster's daughter!! The good teaching received there.
My 'friends' and our adventures on our 'Day Out', Sinnott jumping into the canal to give us an excuse for returning late to school ... whatever... [more]

I can remember Feed My Lambs closing when we went up to the new school.
I did 3 years at this one, an old type of school - one door for boys and the other for girls. The heating was from coke burning boilers and it was good to be able to go out and get the coke. The other thing... [more]

Extracts From Whittlebury & Northamptonshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Whittlebury, inspired by Frith photos.
Some of the earthworks of the medieval fishponds opposite the Manor House can be seen in the foreground. The remarkable 173ft- long church stands to the right, but it is partly obscured from view today by a high wire fence covered with foliage which encloses a putting and bowling green.

The boundary wall of Manor Park lies to the right, with the manor house and vicarage, out of view behind the trees, on the opposite side of the road. The tower of the parish church with its spire alongside, rather than above, lies ahead, with a path leading to the market square to its left.

The scene on the right of the photograph is virtually unrecognisable today. All the buildings have been demolished on that side, and the road curving round (Buckwell Street) is now a cul-de-sac. The old Town Cross/milestone still stands on its original site, and a row of shops has been built behind it. The left-hand side of the High Street, however, is virtually the same as it is here, with the George Hotel on the corner of... [more]
