While waiting for one lock to be ready, Clare had recognised a woman out for a run on the towpath. We had shared the previous locks with her boat. She stopped to chat, and also recommended we take a look at the church in Grafton Regis, so we moored up there and reheated the remains of last night’s excellent curry. We then explored the church which had an exhibition about royal connections. It seems the first Queen Elizabeth – wife of Edward IV, Not Queen Elizabeth I – mother of the “princes in the tower” was from Grafton. We’re learning more English history than we might have expected.
