Rushden lies in the east
of Northamptonshire and developed since the
late 19th century through the manufacture of
footwear. The birthplace of the poet and
novelist H.E. Bates (1905-74), creator of
‘Darlings Buds of May’, it has an impressive
church spire. Rushden Hall stands in a public
park and was originally the residence of John
of Gaunt who acted as head of the government
during the final years of the reign of Edward
lll. |
