About  Northamptonshire   

Northamptonshire is situated in the middle of England, and has more borders with surrounding counties than any other county in the country. It is approximately 60 miles long and 25 miles wide. Six major rivers run through Northamptonshire, and they are the Nen, Welland, Ouse, Avon, Leam and Cherwell. Traditionally it has been a county of cattle, horse and sheep rearing, with associated butter and cheese making. Woad for dyeing was grown and there was also a sprinkling of orchards. Northamptonshire was not a large centre of manufacturing, but silk stockings weaving, lace-making and wool-spinning took place. Additionally shoes were made at Northampton and Wellingborough.
