History
Chester Farm is one mile (1.6 km) north of the village of Irchester, with the A45 road to its south and the River Nene to the north. It "represents a unique piece of historic landscape of high importance... preserving in a small area a wide range of historic features spanning several thousand years." It is a scheduled monument protected by law. Mesolithic flints have been found, with signs of later prehistoric settlement and a "nationally important" walled Roman town. The Chester House Estate is also the location of the Fourteen Arches Viaduct. The 107m long viaduct runs over the River Nene, taking the Leicester to St Pancras mainline across the river between Irchester and Wellingborough.…
