Mediaeval Fish Pond, Rothwell

The ponds were for keeping fish to feed the monks. There were once four ponds in this public park, two were filled in by a vandalising council in the sixties, the others saved, but it seems uncared for by the people of Rothwell - although not forgotten, judging by the rubbish. Is this Northamptonshire's most uncared for park?
