Classified as a ceremonial County and located in the East-Midlands area of the Country is the fairly rural County of Northamptonshire, or Northants as it’s more commonly known. Many of the local population living and working in the area have been told about the Great Fire of Northamptonshire that took place on the 20th of September 1675. Caused by sparks from an open fire on St. Mary’s Street in the main Town of Northampton the fire devastated the town centre. Within six hours of it starting the fire had destroyed about 700 of the town’s 850 buildings, including All Saints church, tragically killing 11 people and causing about 700 families to be made homeless! Having such a tragic and devastating occurrence happen in the past in the County, the local community are now strongly advocating stringent Fire Safety and Security Measures to be taken in every Residential and Commercial Property built there. With the help of a local, experienced, professional, reputable Fire Safety and Security expert such as https://isefireproducts.co.uk/fire-alarm-systems/northamptonshire/ who specialise in modern, quality, Fire Alarms Northamptonshire, the property owners of the County are doing all they can to ensure there are no more fire tragedies recorded there. King Charles 2nd who was ruling Monarch at the time, donated 1,000 tons of timber from Salcey Forest for the re-building. The local Townsfolk raised £25,000 towards the streets being widened and placed a commemorative statue of the King (dressed in a Roman toga) on the portico of the re-built All Saints church.
