Inhabited since the iron age, a market charter signed in 972, mentioned in the Domesday book… Oundle is OLD. We didn’t realise quite how historically dense Oundle, a small town in England, was when we agreed to housesit there for five weeks in autumn, but we quickly learned the basics. There’s something attractive about being in a place that’s been inhabited for thousands of years, about shopping in a market that’s been running almost forever, about having coffee in a building that’s older than your country’s founding document. (Actually, that isn’t hard, New Zealand‘s Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, that’s yesterday in historical terms.)

Town centre
This building society building is right in the heart of Oundle — the main road is on one side and the market place on the other. It’s on an island of its own.
