Located at St Botolph's Rd, Barton Seagrave, Kettering NN15 6SR, UK. I laid my hands reverently on the original Christening Font at St Botolph’s Church that was built in 1120. The Barton-Seagrave historian, Anne Pegg, told us that Thomas Paget, who was born in 1490 in Barton-Seagrave, was undoubtedly baptized in that very font over 500 years ago. St Botolph’s was the only church in the village and everyone was Catholic prior to the beginning of the reformation period in England. Thomas Paget would have walked around this beautiful churchyard as a child. The thought probably never crossed his mind that 500 years later his 13th great granddaughter would fly over a huge ocean from a land yet to be discovered in search of anything that was significant about his life and family. As I walked where he walked, my eyes filled with tears. It was truly a sacred experience.
In the same town, across the way, sits Barton Hall, which is the ancestral home of the Humphrey's family built in 1550. Anne Humphrey is the wife of Thomas Paget (1490) and they are my 13th great grandparents. The exact connection between Anne Humphrey's and Barton Hall is still being researched.
