Northampton is a large market town and local government district in the East Midlands region of England. It is about 67 miles north-west of London and around 50 miles south-east of Birmingham, and lies on the River Nene. It is the county town of Northamptonshire.
The town became significant in the 11th century, when the Normans built town walls and a large castle under the stewardship of the Norman earl, Simon de Senlis. The original defence line of the walls is preserved in today's street pattern (Bridge St, The Drapery, Bearward St and Scarletwell Street). The town grew rapidly after the Normans arrived, and beyond the early defences. By the time of the Domesday Book, the town had a population of about 1500 residents, living in 300 houses.
