Towcester, Including the Town, Museum and Bury Mount.

Описание к видео Towcester, Including the Town, Museum and Bury Mount.

Towcester lays claim to being one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the country. It was the Roman town of Lactodorum, located on Watling Street, today’s A5. In Saxon times, this was the frontier between the kingdom of Wessex and the Danelaw. Towcester features in Charles Dickens's novel The Pickwick Papers as one of Mr Pickwick's stopping places on his tour. The local racecourse has hosted many national horseracing events, and Silverstone Motor racing Circuit is close by.
