Kilsby/Hericy

Kilsby

Kilsby is where we live. In Northamptonshire, it’s inspiration is close at hand.

Some of the paintings have been commissioned. Several views of St Faiths Church have been made, commemorating weddings, etc.  Indeed, several versions of the ‘Summer’ painting have been produced, and one, presented to the Twinning Association, was presented to the Mayor of Hericy (Kilsby’s French twin-village) and is hung in his Office.

Kilsby is associated with Robert Stephenson’s London to Birmingham Railway, as in 1835-1836 the one and a quarter mile Tunnel was opened after an epic and dramatic time in dealing with underground water and quicksands, some achievement without the aid of mechanical digging machines.

Two sets of A4 folded to A6 Notelets, marked (1) and (2) are available at £2.25 per set, including envelopes.  Set 1 includes the above picture.  Set 2 also includes the ‘Black Five’ railway picture.

Christmas cards are also for sale at £4.00 for 10 A6 size, £7.50 for 10 at A5 size.
Wording inside can be done to order.
