Finedon is a small town in the Borough of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, with a population at the 2011 census of 4,309 people. In 1086 when the Domesday Book was completed, Finedon was a large royal manor, previously held by Queen Edith, wife of Edward the Confessor. From the 1860s the parish was much excavated for its iron ore, which lay underneath a layer of limestone and was quarried over the course of 100 years or more. Local furnaces produced pig iron and later the quarries supplied ore for the steel works at Corby. A disused quarry face in the south of the parish is a geological SSSI.

6. Sudeley Castle Winchcombe
Sudeley Castle is located in the Cotswolds near Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. The present structure was built in the 15th century and may have been on the site of a 12th-century castle. The castle has a notable garden, which is designed and maintained to a very high standard. The chapel, St. Mary's Sudeley, is the burial place of Queen Catherine Parr , the sixth wife of King Henry VIII, and contains her marble tomb. Unusually for a castle chapel, St Mary's of Sudeley is part of the local parish of the Church of England. Sudeley is also one of the few castles left in England that is still a residence. As a result, the castle is only open to visitors on specific dates, and private family quarters are closed to the public. It is a Grade I listed building, and recognised as an internat...

Holland America Vibe Dining Room Tips - Cruise Vlog

Check out easy cruise search here:

Hi Cruisers, In this week's vlog we look at Holland America stereotypes. Would a HAL cruise be good for a couple in their mid 30's who are not party animals, but still enjoy a lively vibe? Is cruise insurance a good idea? What happens the day of an excursion? How do you know where to go, or how to find your guide? We answer this question from a subscriber planning a cruise to Alaska. If you are planning on doing laundry on a cruise, is it difficult to find machines not in use. Is there a time that's better for doing laundry on a cruise? A cruiser excited about an upcoming cruise on the Carnival Glory is curious about protocol in the main dining room, and I share my thoughts on assigned dining times. And we need to help out a couple of cruisers with questions about currency, and Great Stirrup Cay.
