Memorials of old Northamptonshire . ving of linen, plush, and silk was common till late in the nineteenthcentury. Towcester and the southern part of the countywas famous for its silk stockings, and near by, at Abthorpe, a public-house has for its sign The Stocking Frame. Another industry that has left its mark in some fieldnames was the cultivation of woad for the dyers, in thisproverbially least wooded, most woaded of any county.In the earlier part of the nineteenth century there werestill wad grounds— wad is the Saxon form of the word—round Hardingstone, and huts which the wadders livedin during the summer, while the work went on of growingthe crop, cutting the leaves, and grinding them into a paste, which was made into balls and dried by the wind. The charcoal burners and swineherds disappeared withthe enclosure of the forests; the saw-pit with its hand-sawyers, that were to be found at work in every villagewoodyard, will soon be as extinct as the wadders.

The more we know of its story, the more we shall say: I doe love these auncient villages.We never tread upon them but we setOur foote upon some reverend historic. Alice Dryden. 14
