This fascinating market town in the Nene valley has a long and illustrious history dating back to the 6th century. The poet John Betjeman described St Mary’s Church, designed by Sir Ninian Comper, as ‘the finest modern parish church in England’ while 14th century All Hallows Church has fine examples of medieval craftsmanship.
During the reign of Elizabeth 1 Sir Christopher Hatton, the Lord of the Manor, sponsored Sir Francis Drake's expeditions. In return Drake re-named one of his ships ‘Golden Hind’ after the Hind Hotel. Oliver Cromwell stayed at the hotel on his way to the Battle of Naseby in 1645.
