The Parish History |
|
The history site has become so popular that in order to make it more manageable, it has been split off as a separate sub-site of the Council web-site. This will mean the location has moved (all the web pages now reside in the History directory) and previous links may not work.
This site has been set up by the Parish Council to provide information on the history of the parish of Chelveston-cum-Caldecott, that forms part of the ancient hundred of Higham Ferrers in the county of Northamptonshire.
