Daventry is a market town in Northamptonshire. It is 76.4 miles north-northwest of London and 13.9 miles west of Rugby. Sitting between 135 and 160 metres above sea level, it is surrounded by hills reaching heights of 225 metres. Daventry is located on the watershed of the River Leam, which travels to the west of England, and the River Nene, which travels east. Having said that, there is not a river in the town and the most substantial bodies of water result from two tanks that supply the canal that swings from Watford Gap into the West Midlands through a 1.9 kilometre long Braunston Tunnel. Daventry is traditionally a rural town with a small population, having around 4000 inhabitants in 1950. Growth took place from 1955 when British Timken, the tapered roller bearing company, set up a large factory in the town. Coupled with being assigned as an ‘overspill’ to settle people and industry from Birmingham in 1966 as part of an agreement with Birmingham City Council, the town proceeded to grow. There are a number housing estates, such as Drayton, Middlemore Farm, Long Farm, Ashby Fields, Royal Oak, Timken, Stefen Hill, The Grange, The Southbrook and the Headlands. Irrespective of such development, it did not reach the target population of 36000 by 1981, and the population of the town was documented as 25026 in the 2011 Census. The modern-day housing and industrial development surrounds the town’s historical market centre. 74 landmarks and structures in Daventry’s town centre are on the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest led by the Church of Holy Cross at Grade I, and buildings including Market Place and the Danetre Hospital Offices are Grade II listed.
