On 20 September 1675, flames tore through the thriving market town of Northampton. Within hours, three-quarters of the town lay in ruins.This book tells the story not with modern hindsight, but through the eyes of those who lived it.Using original pamphlets, poems, and letters (many published within days of the disaster) this book offers a vivid portrait of the fire and its aftermath.Each document is presented in its original form and transcribed version, with minimal editing to preserve the tone and texture of the time.Published to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the fire.

In 1838, full emancipation swept across the British Empire.To mark the occasion, William Knibb stood before a vast congregation in Jamaica and declared: THE MONSTER IS DEAD.But did you know that several of the weapons used to slay the monster were made, or at least sharpened, in Northamptonshire? This book follows those ideas, those movements, and those people, showing how a county far from the Caribbean plantations became part of the great struggle to end one of history's gravest injustices.
