More about this scene

Our brief foray into parkland is over and we reach Earls Barton, some six miles east of Northampton. Called Earls Barton because of its connections with the earls of Northampton, it is mainly noted for its powerful Anglo-Saxon church tower, seen here dominating the view. The village is an architectural mix with older stone houses set amid Victorian brick and slate, and modern 20th-century homes.
