We
should
learn of our roots and appreciate those who came before. I am a 12th
generation direct male line descendant of Richard Lord of Towcester and
that connection, with the man and with the town, has brought me endless
pleasure, historical insights and enduring friendships. This lineage,
as traditionally envisioned in the male line, ends with me and my
brother.
