Northampton

Northampton occupies the valley of the River Nene in England’s East Midlands. Long associated with shoemaking, the county town retains that legacy at Northampton Museum and Art Gallery, whose collections trace the craft from historic footwear to contemporary design. The Great Fire of 1675 transformed the centre; All Saints’ Church was rebuilt soon afterwards and its portico has become a familiar civic landmark. Another distinctive address is 78 Derngate, the only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
