Thank You For Helping Us Grow Some £10s!

Back To Books is a Not For Profit Community Organisation specialising in arts and wellbeing projects. We raise funds on a project by project basis and have completed many successful creative projects in Northamptonshire. We have been awarded grants for past projects by Awards For All, Northamptonshire Community Foundation and The People's Health Trust. We work with all ages and abilities and hope to build on our creative approaches to walking and wellbeing. We created a public Mosaic Trail for the Brampton Valley Way, artworks and mosaics for The Green Patch Community Allotments and have worked with many groups in rural or deprived areas. We have been delighted by the support we received from friends and well wishers during the Grow Your Tenner campaign in October 2016. We managed to raise £1000 which will be used as matched funding for a new project in 2017!

The View From Here - Exploring the Montagu Monuments

Way off, across the fields, St Edmund's Church, Warkton forms part of our view from The Green Patch and the Abvondale / Grange estate. During the summer Carole went to explore the church, and the newly restored Montagu Monuments with Ann-Marie Sandos, the Learning and Outreach Officer at Boughton House.

Ann-Marie was very keen to involve both Back To Books 

and The Green Patch in a creative exploration 

of the Montagu Monuments.

We began by making collages using photographs of 

details of the monuments and adding drawings 

and paint to express aspects of the monuments.

We later went on to create our own

salt dough memorial plaques.
