Welcome to “From the Archives…”, celebrating the many wonderful images of our iconic Market House through the years.

Whether you’ve lived in Rothwell all your life (and seen most of the existing pictures in various places!) or just moved in to the area, we hope there will be something for everyone. 👌

31 March – This week’s image 📷🤳🖼
Today, it’s the 16th in our weekly series. This time, it’s another from regular supporter of the Trust and ex-Rowellian, Richard Dimbleby. Richard writes: “This is a photo from a card/postcard of an original painting by Stella Benford, and I wonder if someone has the original painting? The year is unknown”.

To see more of Richard’s contributions, take a look at:-

As many of you know, the Market House needs a major makeover. The roof is leaking and must be replaced soon, so why not help us preserve Rothwell’s most recognisable building for future generations by making a donation – Thank you! – Our Fundraising Page is HERE.

We’d like to thank Northamptonshire Archive Service,
our good friends at Rothwell Arts & Heritage Centre and our many Supporters of the Trust
for their help in collating the content for this series 😁.
