Once it had three manors, two churches, a school, and a great house. Now it has one church (Holy Trinity), closed for regular use and in the care of the Historic Churches Trust, while Blatherwycke Hall was demolished in 1948 and the school closed in 1952. It has inevitably become a commuter and retirement village. But farming is still the principal industry, and the Hall gardens are being restored, with a new ‘great house’ in prospect.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis book is a survey of its history from the earliest times to the mid-twentieth century. Particular attention has been paid to the families who lived here, not just the squires but also the ‘ordinary’ villagers – who they were, what they did, and how external events affected them. No previous history of the place has been written since that of county historian John Bridges in the eighteenth century, and relatively few records survive, so that piecing Blatherwycke’s past together has been something of a detective puzzle. It is hoped that the resulting picture will be a pleasure to the village’s present inhabitants and to a wider audience interested in the history of middle England.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-template-name=\"detailBullets\" class=\"a-section feature detail-bullets-wrapper bucket\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eProduct details\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003eCountry Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e6 April 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e434 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e1910489840\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e978-1910489840\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e788g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"btfSubNavDesktopCopy\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"btfSubNavDesktop\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"btfSubNavDesktop\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"btfSubNavDesktop_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"omqq5p-qihxcp-qjy7rh-jr5lyq\" data-cel-widget=\"btfSubNavDesktopCopy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blatherwycke Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52467537608970,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/0956\/9290\/files\/Bwyckebook_00726c09-b22b-46aa-8d81-e52e6a250d8f.jpg?v=1769606081","url":"https:\/\/shop.blatherwyckeestate.co.uk\/products\/blatherwycke-the-history-of-a-northamptonshire-village","provider":"Blatherwycke Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
