Full Description
In the late 17th century horse races were held in Rothwell, in 1672, 1673, 1682, 1683, 1697, 1698 and 1699. It was one of six places in the county (Harlestone, Daventry, Peterborough, Kettering and Northampton) at which horse racing took place in 1727. All were urban centres, apart from Harlestone, which lies a short distance to the north of Northampton. (1)
