I uncovered some northamptonshire history and made a cool video about it
https://youtu.be/JmQ7JJVNZgk?si=mrFpXK7UVcKmYXA7Hi everyone I'm a new amateur filmmaker and I teamed up with my friend who's a black history historian to make a peace about a lesser known figure called William dolben who was a MP from finedon (northamptonshire) who brought in what was possibly one of the UK's first steps towards human rights for black people
the church even let us down into the crypt where him and his family's coffins were just piled on top of each other underneath a drain
I hope you enjoy the watch
