Daventry was an Anglo-Saxon rural settlement which existed from the late ninth or early 10th century. A substantial village with a priest by the time of Domesday Book, within thirty years a Cluniac Priory was established and Daventry eventually became a market town. To this day it retains its position as the shopping centre for the surrounding district. “...beautifully illustrated and thoroughly researched book.” Daventry Express
