On Tues 22nd Sept – “Maxey: its early medieval origin and later development” Just across the county boundary, Maxey has much to tell us about the medieval period. Closely linked with the Deepings through its royal landowners, the fortified manor house, Maxey Castle, was an important landmark. What else can the archaeology tell us about the surrounding fields, the buildings and their inhabitants in the Middle Ages? Village Hall, King Street, West Deeping Refreshments from 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start. All welcome £2.50 on the door.

Caudle House Bed & Breakfast in elegant accommodation in the heart of Market Deeping B&B now open!
Where shall we explore this weekend?
With its medieval street plan, interesting shops, galleries, museum and an array of teashops, pubs and of course, the Talbot Inn, this ancient market town of Oundle, is a great place for a mooch and only just over 30 minutes drive away.. Built of limestone many properties have Collyweston roofs and a resemblance to those that can be seen in Market Deeping. It is said that the oak staircase of the Talbot is from the nearby Fotheringhay Castle, now in ruins, execution place of Mary Queen of Scots but said to harbour her spirit. There are free guided walks on Thursdays at 11am to book oundlelib@northamptonshire. gov.uk or download a trail from www.oundle.info/the-oundle-heritage-trail/
