 | | Towcester is the oldest town in Northamptonshire and has enjoyed a long, varied and interesting history. |
 | | Situated in the south of the county, surrounded by beautiful, rolling countryside, Towcester is a town of contrasts where the old mixes happily with the new; the lively Watling Street, the business and commercial lifeline of the town, lies alongside many areas of rural tranquillity. |
 | | Towcester has always been an important stop for travellers; boasting some 20 coaching inns in the town in the early 19th century; one of which, the Saracens Head, played host to Charles Dickens. |
