Newton Treasure hunt
The tiny Village of Newton is easily found and many drop in at the Dovecote tea rooms. But did you know it is named after the largest Dovecote in Europe? Or that one of the last uprisings in England of peasants against landowners took place nearby? That the family who bankrolled the gunpowder plot lived here? That 50 or more locals were hung, drawn and quartered? That one of Northampton’s most seen ghosts walks nearby? That there is an ancient barrow dating back to the Stone Age?
Come for one of walks or treasure hunts, as we lead you with clues and puzzles through the landscape of British history.
