Northampton Town of Shoes and leather
Historically Northampton was known for its shoe and leather industry. The town is an important retail and market centre serving Northamptonshire and north Buckinghamshire. Northampton was designated a planned new town in 1965, and expansion followed. Great Brington Church lies 6 miles (10 km) to the northwest.
Where is Northampton? Situated in the centre of the country, Northampton is approximately 60 miles from London and 50 miles from Birmingham, and has excellent travel links by road and rail to other towns and cities.
Castle Ashby House
Castle Ashby House has recently been passed to Earl Compton, the son of the 7th Marquess, to continue the family tradition of managing the Castle Ashby Estate. The Gardens are continually undergoing change and restoration and are open daily for all to enjoy.
After the Civil War the Earls of Huntingdon mainly lived elsewhere, but did not altogether abandon Ashby. The remaining buildings, including the medieval hall, were patched together as a house called Ashby Place. This appears principally to have been used as a dower house by widowed Countesses of Huntingdon.
Warner’s Gin Distillary.
Falls Farm, 34 High St, Harrington, Northampton NN6 9NU, Verenigd Koninkrijk
Warner’s Distillery is the world’s leading premium farm-born gin producer. Its spirits are lovingly crafted with nature using ingredients directly from the botanical gardens, hedgerows, and natural springs of its farm estate.
Created and run by Tom & Tina Warner, Warner’s Distillery sits in the rolling hills of Northamptonshire. Steeped in ancient farming history, the estate dates back to the 13th century Knights Hospitaller whose hand-built fish ponds were fed by the farm’s spring water.
Since launching in 2012, Tom & Tina have built an expert team, producing unique spirits, elegantly crafted from ingredients grown on the farm such as elderflower, angelica, verbena and lavender.
Avoiding its competitors industrial approach, the Warner’s process is painstakingly focused on creating the best-tasting liquid, combining traditional gin production and the best farm-grown ingredients for a contemporary twist on flavor.
As the Warner’s state, “the path less travelled is often hardest but offers the richest rewards – working with real fruit and botanicals is far more complex than using factory created flavourings, but it creates the best tasting spirit, and that’s why we believe ‘Real Taste Better’ ”
It is this passion for “Doing the Right Thing” – focusing on quality and working with nature and natural ingredients that makes it distinctly Warner’s and has enabled the development of a multi-award-winning spirits portfolio and a conveyor belt of exciting and market leading spirits innovation.

CRAFT DISTILLED SPIRITS
Phipps bottled its own London Dry Gin until the beginning of WW2 so reviving this spirit goes hand in hand with the rebuilding of the company’s brewing range. Our Head Distiller Quentin Neville was a founding partner of the revived Phipps NBC and has a true passion for “Mothers Ruin”.
Phipps Northampton Distillery was launched in 2015, to produce the high quality Spirits on a small scale craft basis.
Since then we have added interesting flavour varieties and has gained many accolades for quality and range.
KINGSWELL DRY GIN 42%
Our Signature Gin named after the mediaeval well in our cellar which also gives its name to the street on which our brewery sits. It is a classic London Style Dry Gin with a robust profile: Strong flavours come through from the Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger and Nutmeg balanced with the pine wood taste of Juniper and Angelica, Liquorice, Lemon, Orange, Coriander vie for attention while Orris Root and Lavender give floral hints, Cubeb Pepper is there to add a subtle peppery finish. One of our key ingredients is Cascade Hops borrowed from our brewer’s hop store, offering some bitterness and as adding an underlying citrus taste.
Opening the Bottle
A strong citrus scent subsides upon tasting, giving way to a strong spice & piney juniper and a touch of pepper.
Serve neat over ice, or as a mixer with Fever Tree Tonic. Slice of Lime. Elderflower tonic can also bring different botanicals to the fore.
