The Cordwainer These premises were built in 2001. Two years earlier the site had been excavated, revealing a 12th century quarry and a mid-13th century wall. The wall was 'probably the boundary of the Gobion Manor estate', held by Hugh de Gobion, Sheriff of Northampton (1154-61). Part of the estate
known as 'The Riding Ground' was later occupied by Gobion Manor Farm, recalled by today's street name 'The Ridings'.
