Rothwell, in Northamptonshire, had a population of around 8,600 at the 2021 census — a market town with an extraordinary secret beneath its parish church.
The bone crypt beneath Holy Trinity
Below Holy Trinity Church lies a 13th-century charnel chapel packed with the remains of an estimated 2,500 people, believed to have been moved there from the churchyard between the 13th and 16th centuries to make room for new burials. It's one of only two surviving in-situ medieval ossuaries in England, and local legend holds it was rediscovered by an 18th-century gravedigger who fell through a window into the darkness below.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Rothwell shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Rothwell shoppers would otherwise have to travel into Kettering or Northampton for a wider selection.
