More about this scene
This is a fine view of Holy Cross Church with the Abbey Buildings on the left. The Ancient Order of Foresters Friendly Society Institute is on the right. These societies sprang up in the 19th century to help poorer families to save for rainy days, and to help provide decent burials for them. This building later became the Daventry Christian Assembly, where Christians who were not members of the town's churches and chapels could meet together. It is now a private house. The wall to its left, where the girl is sitting, was the site of the Swan Inn, yet another of Daventry's hostelries.
