A series of church spires at Higham Ferrers, King's Sutton, Rushden and Oundle reciprocate the tall narrow county outline. Northamptonshire poets John Dryden and John Clare are celebrated along with a surprising series of American presidents whose distant families hailed from these parts. There is a disturbing recipe for Northamptonshire ramboose and local craftsmen are honoured with depictions of their tools. This edition of the Map was printed to commemorate the placing of a civic Blue Plaque at JL Carr's house in Kettering in 2005.

Publication Essentials
Poster-sized and litho printed on quality card in numbered limited editions, this is one in a series of pre-1974 county area Maps. Designed for framing and to stimulate conversation, JL Carr created the Maps as a way to present an optimistic set of testimonials to our indigenous, daring and buoyant forbears and to hearten those Englishmen who hope for a rekindling of the spirit which has enlivened our nation through its chequered history. These architectural, historical, literary and pictorial curiosities are not to be used for navigation; except in the broadest of terms.Map Details
