Purser's Hills, Haselbech, Northamptonshire
Northamptonshire, where we live, is mainly a rural landlocked county in the south Midlands. The M1 passes through on its western side while the A14 crosses from east to west towards the north. But other than those who live there, relatively few people actually visit. The countryside tends to be gently undulating with numerous beautiful stone-built villages. The landscape flattens out towards the east where it adjoins the Cambridgeshire Fens. But in the north-west and south-west of the county there is pretty countryside with hills reaching over 600 feet above sea level. I have been unable to discover why the Purser's Hills are so called, but these are to be found near the village of Haselbech, a couple of miles south-east of Naseby in the north-west of the county.
