What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: The Pound House. This Grade II Northamptonshire Ironstone building dates from 1594 with additions in 1709. Variously called Ivy House, Eaglehurst and Harwood House, the present name derives from the old Pound opposite used to impound straying livestock. More recently the site included the Fox in the Pound Bookshop and was the home of the Brixworth Bugle newsletter. Recorded plaque organisation: Brixworth Heritage Trail.
The Pound House, originally built in 1594 and renamed for a nearby livestock pound, has served various purposes including as a bookshop and local newsletter office, reflecting its enduring role in Brixworth's community life.
