Description
The church at Fotheringhay dominates the landscape, floating 'on its hill above the river Nene, a galleon of Perpendicular on a sea of corn' (Simon Jenkins). Fotheringhay exudes history: Richard III was born here 550 years ago, Mary Queen of Scots lost her head at Fotheringhay just over a century later, and Elizabeth I made an important visitation in 1566.
Fiori Musicali are one of the UK’s principal providers of baroque and classical music outside London.
