Hulcote Village

I have passed the signpost into Hulcote many times over the years but this is the first time I have ventured into the village itself.
Hulcote is the estate village attached to Easton Neston, the great house near Towcester designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor.  At the end of the road leading into the village are just eight cottages on two sides of a large green.
Their chequered brick and Gothic windows date to the early 19th century, maybe a hundred years later than Easton Neston itself. Their pointed windows and general ecclesiastical look have gained the place the local nickname of the ‘Chapel Village’. Glad I stopped by!
