Hindsight is the journal of the Northamptonshire Heritage Forum and is published annually in the Spring of each year. Its aim is to provide you, as a member or non-member, an opportunity to have your latest research published on the history and heritage of Northamptonshire. We particularly look for examples of research on historic buildings or landscapes, museums, people, events, collections and artefacts.

Hindsight editor, Sue Moss
Sue is a former University and College Lecturer in English Literature and History but with teaching experience in other subjects. She is now involved in historical research and writes for various journals.
Born in Northampton, Sue has lived in the conservation village of Weston Favell for many years and takes an active role in village organisations and events.
Sue began her career in Town and Country Planning, working on conservation and heritage projects. However, she also became involved in writing copy for county-wide exhibitions designed to engage the public in the consultation process for the development of new town plans.
Her love of writing came to the fore again when she worked for Northampton Development Corporation and was asked to prepare copy for promotional literature and articles on the history of the town. This led to a full-time role for several years as a Copywriter and Editor of a prestigious house journal.
After reading for a BA Hons in English, History and Theatre, followed by an MA in Modern English Studies, Sue was offered a post as a Lecturer in English, firstly at the University of Northampton and then at Northampton College where she also taught Creative Writing and Journalism for nearly 20 years.
More recently, Sue read Architectural History and English Local History at the University of Oxford, following which she was invited to write articles and review books for a number of journals including The Local Historian. She now publishes widely on rural and urban settlement and building history. She is also currently in the process of completing a further degree in Archaeology at Oxford with a particular focus on the medieval period.
Sue enjoys going to the theatre, participating in Open Studios, line dancing and travelling. She also gives talks on the History of Art to local groups.
