Chuck out the chintz! Worsted manufacturing in Northamptonshire 1675- 1800
Wendy Rauybould
A retired librarian and currently Editor of Northamptonshire Past and Present, I
moved to Northamptonshire in 1975 and developed a strong interest in local
history, which culminated in 2005, in a PhD for a study of Northamptonshire
worsted production in the 17th and 18th centuries.
This small workshop-based 'cottage' industry forms a fascinating episode in the
county's history, when rural poverty and underemployment met an increasing
supply of long-staple combing wool (from early enclosures) and local
entrepreneurs determined to add value to the wool, which was being exported
unprocessed to the looms of Norwich and other places where protestant refugees
from Europe were sharing their skills in working with it.
The fly in the ointment was the growing fashion for Indian cottons, so to protect
local employment opportunities the Government passed the Calico Acts and
chucked out the chintz!

White Lion HEMA - Historical European Martial Arts
Wed, 29th Oct 2025 19:30 - 21:30
When & where do we meet?
We meet on Wednesday evenings at the Main Hall, St Luke's Community Centre, Main Road, Duston NN5 6JB from 7:30 - 9:30pm
Who we are & what we do;
White Lion HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) is a club based in Northampton that study and train in the martial art traditions of the Medieval and early Renaissance fencing masters. Our primary areas of focus are the longsword of the 15th Century Germanic tradition, sword and buckler, pollaxe and spear. As the club becomes more established, it is hoped that we may also add Polish sabre into our roster.
We use manuals to study historical fencing techniques and then practice them in a safe and controlled fashion although our approach is to also have fun whilst doing so! A typical evening at training would include a short warm-up, interpretation of techniques and putting them into practice, ending the evening with either some free-play or further discussion and practice. Weapons used will be appropriate to the level of experience and protective equipment.

White Lion HEMA - Historical European Martial Arts
Wed, 5th Nov 2025 19:30 - 21:30
When & where do we meet?
We meet on Wednesday evenings at the Main Hall, St Luke's Community Centre, Main Road, Duston NN5 6JB from 7:30 - 9:30pm
Who we are & what we do;
White Lion HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) is a club based in Northampton that study and train in the martial art traditions of the Medieval and early Renaissance fencing masters. Our primary areas of focus are the longsword of the 15th Century Germanic tradition, sword and buckler, pollaxe and spear. As the club becomes more established, it is hoped that we may also add Polish sabre into our roster.
We use manuals to study historical fencing techniques and then practice them in a safe and controlled fashion although our approach is to also have fun whilst doing so! A typical evening at training would include a short warm-up, interpretation of techniques and putting them into practice, ending the evening with either some free-play or further discussion and practice. Weapons used will be appropriate to the level of experience and protective equipment.

Unleash your little one's creativity and explore a world of messy fun without the clean-up stress. Suitable for ages 6 months to 5 years
Our messy play classes are designed to spark imagination and support early development through hands-on, exploratory fun. Perfect for little hands and curious minds, these sessions will encourage imaginative play and creativity and also build fine motor skills, social skills and confidence.
Each week, little ones will have the opportunity to explore a variety of colours, textures, materials and tools in a fun and safe environment. Come and play, splash, squish, and most importantly make a mess!
*Please note*
We recommend that both you and your little ones wear clothing that you do not mind getting messy. Please remember to also bring a towel with you, and a spare change of clothes. A swimming nappy is also recommended for babies who like to paddle.
Due to the nature of our classes it can get very messy and slippery. I will always try my best to keep on top of any spillages but please take extra caution with your little ones and encourage them to walk around the stations.
We will always have a water station for you to use to get clean after all the messy fun!

Little Mess Northampton
Mon, 17th Nov 2025 13:15 - 14:15
At Duston Community Centre, Pendle Road, NN5 6DT on Mondays from 13:15-14:15.
Unleash your little one's creativity and explore a world of messy fun without the clean-up stress. Suitable for ages 6 months to 5 years
Our messy play classes are designed to spark imagination and support early development through hands-on, exploratory fun. Perfect for little hands and curious minds, these sessions will encourage imaginative play and creativity and also build fine motor skills, social skills and confidence.
Each week, little ones will have the opportunity to explore a variety of colours, textures, materials and tools in a fun and safe environment. Come and play, splash, squish, and most importantly make a mess!
*Please note*
We recommend that both you and your little ones wear clothing that you do not mind getting messy. Please remember to also bring a towel with you, and a spare change of clothes. A swimming nappy is also recommended for babies who like to paddle.
Due to the nature of our classes it can get very messy and slippery. I will always try my best to keep on top of any spillages but please take extra caution with your little ones and encourage them to walk around the stations.
We will always have a water station for you to use to get clean after all the messy fun!

White Lion HEMA - Historical European Martial Arts
Wed, 26th Nov 2025 19:30 - 21:30
When & where do we meet?
We meet on Wednesday evenings at the Main Hall, St Luke's Community Centre, Main Road, Duston NN5 6JB from 7:30 - 9:30pm
Who we are & what we do;
White Lion HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) is a club based in Northampton that study and train in the martial art traditions of the Medieval and early Renaissance fencing masters. Our primary areas of focus are the longsword of the 15th Century Germanic tradition, sword and buckler, pollaxe and spear. As the club becomes more established, it is hoped that we may also add Polish sabre into our roster.
We use manuals to study historical fencing techniques and then practice them in a safe and controlled fashion although our approach is to also have fun whilst doing so! A typical evening at training would include a short warm-up, interpretation of techniques and putting them into practice, ending the evening with either some free-play or further discussion and practice. Weapons used will be appropriate to the level of experience and protective equipment.

Tai Chi - Deeper Being
Tue, 2nd Dec 2025 19:00 - 20:30
Tai Chi is recommended for better mental and physical health and increased quality of life by an ever increasing number of scientific studies. You do not need a particular level of fitness or health to start Tai Chi. If you like it, you will experience positive change. All are welcome.
Master Ding Academy Midlands Traditional Tai Chi is led by Sifu Nick Cheang, who has been studying Tai Chi intensely since he met Master Ding in 1999 and a range of martial arts since 1978. We teach all aspects of this traditional internal energy Art, which specialises in the cultivation and usage of 'chi' to support its aims, whether that be good health and harmony of mind and body, self defence or the deepening of your martial arts and/or life journey.
We have a number of classes in Northampton. The most up to date list can be found on www.deeperbeing.com.

White Lion HEMA - Historical European Martial Arts
Wed, 3rd Dec 2025 19:30 - 21:30
When & where do we meet?
We meet on Wednesday evenings at the Main Hall, St Luke's Community Centre, Main Road, Duston NN5 6JB from 7:30 - 9:30pm
Who we are & what we do;
White Lion HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) is a club based in Northampton that study and train in the martial art traditions of the Medieval and early Renaissance fencing masters. Our primary areas of focus are the longsword of the 15th Century Germanic tradition, sword and buckler, pollaxe and spear. As the club becomes more established, it is hoped that we may also add Polish sabre into our roster.
We use manuals to study historical fencing techniques and then practice them in a safe and controlled fashion although our approach is to also have fun whilst doing so! A typical evening at training would include a short warm-up, interpretation of techniques and putting them into practice, ending the evening with either some free-play or further discussion and practice. Weapons used will be appropriate to the level of experience and protective equipment.
