orthamptonshire,
essentially an agricultural county, has an undulating terrain on which livestock raising
predominates. The principal town of Northampton has a long history of shoemaking. Thatch
and stone were used in the construction of local villages, and medieval towns like Oundle
are worth visiting. The abundance of parish churches and stately country homes, such as
Althorp House and Deene Park, has contributed to Northamptonshire's reputation as the
county of 'spires and squires'.
