Many present-day residents of Northampton will know of Hazelrigg House in Marefair. It ’s likely though they will know little of the house’s former residents. It is sometimes called Cromwell House based on a tenuous and undocumented connection with Oliver Cromwell. The Hesilrige (later Hazelrigg) family lived there from at least 1667 until 1817. After standing empty some years, number 33 Marefair as it was then known, was sold in 1831 to Mr George Baker a local historian and antiquarian. It seems likely that Baker had underestimated the size of his planned undertaking. From the beginning, his method was to send out printed questionnaires to parish clergy seeking information on local agricultural conditions, geology, natural history, manors, antiquities, charities, and worthies. This was not his sole method of research planning a personal visit to every parish. The time and cost involved must have been significant despite him assuring John Britton ‘I travel very economically’. In between came the chance to run a regional repertory company, when, in 1965, Baker re-opened the fine 300-seat Regency Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, from which he sent out the Candida Plays company on tours as artistic director. Weary of hopping from one West End part to another, he tasted the joys of taking to people what he believed was good theatre. It was rash, but it was also fun, and he did it for six years. The main signs of his continuing existence to be seen in the West End came from a transfer to the St Martin's theatre from Bury of Terence Rattigan's The Sleeping Prince (1968), with Baker in the Laurence Olivier role of the Regent; and his tour of Christopher Fry's The Lady's Not for Burning (1971), led by Derek Jacobi, which reached the Old Vic.

Release

In 1978, Baker disbanded the Selection because "the pressure had become too much." The band has sold over 20 million records worldwide. However, Baker formed a new George Baker Selection in 1985, which stayed together till 1989. [7] The second version of the Selection has released twelve albums and several compilation albums. These theological trends were important even at a local level as George and Ann Baker were to later become Unitarians themselves. They would have actually “crossed the road” in King street when they moved from King Street Independent to Kings Street Unitarian. Oomen, Eefje (21 July 2018).

The first part was published in 1822, the second in 1826, and the third, completing the first volume, in 1830. This volume contains the hundreds of Spelho, Newbottle Grove, Fawsley, Wardon, and Sutton. The fourth part, containing the hundreds of Norton and Cleley, appeared in 1836, and about one-third of a fifth part, containing the hundred of Towcester, in 1841. At this point, when the work had not proceeded to more than a quarter of its intended extent, it was unfortunately destined to terminate abruptly.
