Supplement to the 2002 Freeston Collection

When, in 2001, the contents of the late George Freeston's house were being organised for dispatch to the Northampton- shire Records Office, one of the Executor's decided to make his own minor collection of memorable documents and photographs.  The dispatched material has become known as the 2002 George Freeston Collection at the NRO and has been thoroughly sifted for material of interest to this website.  In the course of the succeeding eight years the executor has decided that his personal collection was not so much of interest to him and it has been sent back to Blisworth.  It comprises of just one smaller box containing only a few documents of interest with about 200 photographs of which well over half are photographs we already have.  There were many 35mm colour negatives of negligible interest because they are not relevant to Blisworth history.

Over the next few weeks some photographs and one or two documents will be added to pages of this website and will be referred to as "Collection Supplement".  The inset photograph here shows about a third of the boxed material that was dispatched to the NRO in 2001.  The 'new' material will either be added to the NRO material or kept by the Blisworth Heritage Society.
