Daventry may not be best known for wood craft tales like charcoal burning, but its history is woven with fire, from early landscapes to industrial change and community safety. Here’s a look at its historic connections to wood and fire:

Ancient Landscapes & the “Burnt Walls” Enclosure

• On the southern edge of Daventry lies an archaeological earthwork called “Burnt Walls”, a banked enclosure whose name has intrigued historians. While its exact age is unclear, the name may reference ancient clearing fires or burnt structures visible even by the early medieval period.

Borough Hill & Timber Framing

• Borough Hill, overlooking the town, was used over millennia, from Bronze Age barrows to an Iron Age hillfort and later a Roman villa. Though less directly tied to wood fuel, the presence of wood built structures and settlements meant local fuel use was heavy from early times.
• Medieval Daventry includes timber-framed buildings, such as a Grade II listed shop on High Street dating from the 1400s, lovingly restored to retain its historic wooden framework.

Daventry Fire Service & Community Protection

• Daventry has long been served by Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue, with its Daventry Fire Station involved in both community education and major response efforts.
• The evolution of local firefighting capabilities—from horse-drawn pumps to modern turnouts, mirrors shifts in building materials and urban density, including the move away from wood to brick and ironstone in church and civic buildings like Holy Cross Church.

Fire & Built Environment

• The town evolved as a medieval coaching stop, where wooden inns, carts, and hearth-based businesses dominated daily life. Open hearths and wood fires were central to commerce, yet posed risk in tightly packed timber buildings.
Over time, fires did occur: a dramatic warehouse blaze in Daventry’s Drayton Fields industrial area destroyed a large garden supplies store; more than 50 firefighters attended, and the fire was considered one of the most serious in Northamptonshire in recent years.
