Walgrave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walgrave is a village in the Kettering district of the county of Northamptonshire in England. The village centres around St Peter's Church, a sandstone spired Church.
Down the road from St Peter's is the eighteenth century Baptist chapel. Although the Baptist church was founded before 1700, the present chapel was built in 1786 in typical Northamptonshire non-conformist style, being slightly wider than it is long. Built of the local brown limestone, it clashes a little with the attached brick-built Sunday School of 1899.
Other notable features of the village include the Royal Oak public house with its collection of Real Ales and the newly installed village sign on the main green. The Royal Oak has been an inn since 1840, though the building itself is much older.
