10 Beautiful Churches in Northamptonshire
"An Anglo-Saxon origin in the shoemaking village of Earls Barton is an exceptional All Saints Church. Its tenth-century tower, along with its well crafted stonework and carving, makes this church a fine example of Saxon architecture. Dating all the way back to 970, it’s tower has a Roman-influenced design, constructed from stone rubble and render."

15 beautiful Northamptonshire churches that are a window to another era
"In 1675 Northampton’s principal medieval church was burnt down leaving just its 13th century crypt and large central tower. The rebuilt church, probably designed by Henry Bell of Kings Lynn, was based on Wren’s contemporary St Mary– at–Hill in the city of London. It took thirty years to complete and is built in the baroque classical style."

Where to eat & drink al‑fresco at The Hub in Milton Keynes this Spring
"Banana Tree offers an exciting casual dining experience that is different from other Milton Keynes restaurants. Milton Keynes is the largest Banana Tree venue to date. Their revolutionary menu includes homemade dishes such as Vietnamese Monks’ Spring Rolls and The Legendary Rendang on the same dining table as Lemongrass and Turmeric Stir Fry or Tamarind Crispy Fish with Thai Basil Glaze served with a selection of Indochina‑inspired cocktails."

MK Nightlife - Best Bars and Clubs in Milton Keynes at Night (Past & Present)
"Banana Tree has been the destination for a few of my birthday meals and nights out in Milton Keynes as the Vietnamese cuisine isn’t too heavy to eat before a night out. I normally share the mango chicken and spicy beef with a friend. The Vietnamese and Thai inspired cocktails are the perfect accompaniment to the food and the swing seats are really fun too!"
