Northampton Town Centre Walk【4K】| Let's Walk 2021

Join me for a walk around the centre of Northampton, one of England's most historic and largest towns. Dating back far into history, Northampton has been at the centre of a number of major events in Britain, and has found itself victim to no less than three major fires which have completely reshaped the town centre. Still, there is a whole host of gorgeous architecture in the town in the modern day, along with some remnants from the medieval period.

As we walk around town, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Northampton Guildhall, Northampton Town & County War Memorial, All Saints' Church, The Drapery, Northampton Market Square, Northampton Guildhall Courtyard, the Church of St. Giles, Royal & Derngate Theatre, the National Lift Tower, Northampton Working Mens' Club, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
