Historic Buildings in Northamptonshire

78 Derngate is a masterpiece of Modernist architecture, remodelled by Charles Rennie Mackintosh from an early 19th-century terraced house. In 1916 Mackintosh was called upon by WJ Bassett-Lowke, owner of the property, to undertake a major program of refurbishing and decorating the property. This he did, so brilliantly that 78 Derngate has been called his most significant work after leaving Glasgow.

One of the most striking buildings in England, Rushton Triangular Lodge was built by Thomas Tresham between 1594-1597. Tresham, the father of one of the Gunpowder Plot participants, was a firm Roman Catholic. He was frequently fined for his views and devised the Lodge as a way of expressing his commitment to the Catholic faith. The Lodge is based on an equilateral triangular, symbolic of the Holy Trinity.
