Thrapston Fire Station
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue showing off the fire tender to the Charter Fair public.
King John granted Thrapston a market charter in 1205. This was awarded on the price of two palfreys (not a breed of horse but a style of movement, not trotting but an ambling gait) Every year the market status is celebrated with a street fair. Thrapston is the only town in Northamptonshire with a livestock market still within the town.

Chancery Lane, Thrapston
A minor road in the town centre.
The name is a well known one, no doubt because of Chancery Lane station on the London Underground, but what does Chancery mean?
It seems to get quite complex when you start looking at stuff about courts of law, but it can also mean something like a Public Record Office, which is probably the most likely explanation here.
