Northampton
Spencer Perceval, 1762-1812, Prime Minister 1809-1812 |
The Christian Peoples Alliance formed a Northampton branch in September 2005.
CPA Northampton, as well as helping our London friends to fight their local
elections in May 2006, also fought the Spencer Ward by-election in Northampton
on 9 Feb 2006. Unlike the Londoners, though, we came last! (Oh well.) |
At last, some modern art with real meaning! The DNA statue in Abington Street. |
Whilst this page is supposed to be about politics, I can't resist sneaking in a quick
reference to the fact that Francis Crick (the DNA chap) was a Northampton lad. And we've
just been graced with a superb statue in Abington Street to commemorate the 50th anniversary
of the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure. |
Charles Bradlaugh, 1833-1891 |
In political terms, Northampton's most notable figures of the last couple of centuries are Spencer
Perceval, Prime Minister from 1809 until his assassination in 1812, and Charles Bradlaugh, noted
freethinker and Member of Parliament for Northampton. Whilst it is true that Mr Bradlaugh was no
Christian, his courage and determination are undoubted, and his fight for religious freedom (and
particularly the freedom for non-Christians to take a full part in politics) is to be admired. |
