Full Description
{1} The main road network has been substantially changed as a result of turnpiking in the 18th century. Until that date the main road From Higham Ferrers to Leicester did not apparently run through Rothwell but rather to the north, although the road from Rockingham to Northampton may have run through the town from Pipewell Abbey, crossing the Ise on the Abbey Bridge, the bridge and its causeway having been newly built in 1595-6.
