Abstract
Rushden Church, a reappraisal of the architectural history
David N Hall
71 - 75
[SP 9566]. Observation during restoration works was rewarded by the discovery of Norman features (massive footings of simple rectangular plan) and of evidence that the aisles are substantially Early English. A blocked piscina was revealed under plaster.
Higham Ferrers Castle - or otherwise
A E Brown
79 - 84
[SP 9669]. Historical maps and documents show that earthworks long regarded as part of the castle defences are almost certainly fishponds and a rabbit warren. The castle's site must always have been small and is now largely built over, but its 15th century dovecote remains impressive.
Four deserted settlements in Northamptonshire
A E Brown
Christopher C Taylor
178 - 198
Four of the county's 82 known deserted settlements are surveyed historically and archaeologically. All were relatively small; two were removed for emparking c 1770 and the other two were progressively deserted in the late Middle Ages, probably because they were on difficult clay land and would be early casualties when population contracted.
The 14th-century tile paving at Higham Ferrers
Elizabeth S Eames
199 - 209
The tiles pave two wide steps between chancel and altar, arranged in panels preserving, in part at least, the original layout. An unusual technique for the animal-tiles consisted in inlaying white on red and adding incised details by hand to give the effect of pseudo-mosaic. Variety is ingeniously achieved with a small number of shapes and stamps.
The medieval parks of Northamptonshire
John M Steane
211 - 233
Catalogue of about 50 parks with general comment on their use for deer, timber and cattle pasture. Most of the early medieval parks were on the edge of cultivated land well away from settlement centres, and many follow parish boundaries. The Tudor parks in contrast tended to swallow cultivated land.
The development of Tudor and Stuart garden design in Northamptonshire
John M Steane
383 - 405
Describes the main garden features which may now appear in grassed-over form: mounts, terracing, water features, flower beds etc. Documentary, cartographic and air photographic evidence are enlisted in the description of some Northamptonshire gardens, and water pipes of timber and pottery are illustrated.
