A short history of Wellingborough
Wellingborough began as an Anglo-Saxon settlement called Wendelingburgh, meaning the fortification of Wændel's people and the Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Wendelburie. All Hallows Church dates from about 1160 and is the oldest surviving building. The manor belonged to Crowland Abbey and in 1201 King John granted its monks a weekly Wednesday market. The church tower was finished about 1270. Lord of the manor Sir Christopher Hatton sponsored Sir Francis Drake's expeditions. Queen Henrietta Maria came on 14 July 1627 to use the waters. In the Civil War a skirmish in the town killed Captain John Sawyer and a colony of Diggers settled. Railway stations opened in 1845 and 1857 and a rail accident in 1898 killed six or seven.
