In the Middle Ages Northampton's location gave it great importance. Parliaments were held at the castle, whose postern gate can still be seen at Castle Station, and the trial of Thomas á Becket was held there. Next to Becket's Park you will find a well where Becket is said to have paused in his flight from the trial.
