Towcester, the Roman town of Lactodorum, is an affluent market town in south Northamptonshire, England. The town is approximately 8 miles (12.9 km) south-west of Northampton and about 10 miles (16.1 km) north-west of Milton Keynes, the nearest main towns. Oxford is about 30 miles (48.3 km) south-west via the A43 road, M40 motorway and A34 road. The A43 now bypasses the town to the north but the A5 road still passes through the town centre. This still carries much traffic in the north-south direction which may be bypassed to the west with the possibility of expansion of the town.
Towcester used to be within the parliamentary constituency of Daventry. However, since the 2010 general election it forms part of the South Northamptonshire constituency. The town has good shopping facilities with the four major supermarket chains of Waitrose, Tesco, Co-op and Aldi also B & M Stores and Poundstretcher have recently opened branches. There is also a range of smaller shops and numerous restaurants of various cuisines and national chains such as Costa and McDonald's. All the major British banks are present (except HSBC, which closed September 2015) and Nationwide Building Society are present, as is a main post office.
St. Lawrence's C of E Church, stands in the middle of the town. It has a 12th century Norman transitional ground plan and foundation, probably laid over a Saxon 10th century stone building. Its ecclesiastical heritage may well relate back to Roman times as St Lawrence was patron saint of the Roman legions. The building was reconstructed in the perpendicular style 1480–85 when the church tower was added. Permission to quarry stone for this restoration from Whittlewood Forest was granted by Edward IV and later confirmed by Richard III on his way towards Leicestershire and his death at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
Towcester lays claim to being the oldest town in Northamptonshire and possibly, because of the antiquity of recent Iron Age finds in the town, to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the country. There is evidence that it was settled by humans since the Mesolithic era (middle stone age). There is also evidence of Iron Age burials in the area.

Towcester Head from a Roman tomb
This curious piece of sculpture is from a Romano-British tomb at Towcester, Northamptonshire, in England. It is a very good example of classical ideas of realism meeting the more symbolic and lessl lifelike proportions of so-called 'Celtic' art. You can either interpret Celtic art as a deliberate style of its own or observe that the disproportionately large features such as the eyes reflect children's art, or both. You decide.

London Canal Museum 18th February 2014
Filmed at the London Canal Museum on the 18th February 2014, I tried to capture as many features as possible for disabled visitors in this short film. The trip started by checking their website for access information: canalmuseum.org.uk/visit/menu-disabled.htm, which contained much detail.
There are concessions for disabled visitors; induction loop for hearing aid users at reception; a virtual tour of a tiny cabin area of narrowboat Coronis - which is too small to be accessible by wheelchair. Braille information is provided at listening posts; there is a good egress arrangement in place from the first floor; tactile exhibits; ramped access to the canal side; an audio tour for visually-impaired visitors; subtitles where possible on film; items at a height which can be seen from a seated or standing position; seating available; tactile surfaces at the top and foot of staircases - for a small museum they have achieved a lot! If this gives you some ideas to welcome disabled people then it will have achieved something. The music track is called Haystacks.

On The Edge Of An Empire | Time Team (Roman Army Documentary) | Timeline
Another close-up look at the process of archaeological discovery - at Ribchester, Lancashire, a site which, for the first 100 years of Roman rule in Britain, was part of the northern frontier, an inhospitable location where all that separated the invaders from the hostile tribesmen were ditches and forts.
Working against the clock, the Time Team reveal by excavation a unique piece of military engineering that holds the key to just how the Roman army survived - around AD100 - in this remote outpost of the Empire.
