Jeyes of Earls Barton stages a number of events, including
regular Valuation Days with the likes of antiques experts Charles Hanson and Eric Knowles, inviting people to bring along their treasures, antiques and collectibles to fi nd out what they’re worth. The Apothocoffee Shop also hosts WI groups and the
Northamptonshire Heritage Forum and, while they’re on site, visitors can also browse the gift, card and toy shops, view the exhibits, enjoy an ice cream from Jeylato’s or pick up some local produce – particularly Jeyes’s Northamptonshire Sauce, recreated a few years back, from a recipe dating back to Philadelphus Jeyes, and with help from Steve Reid from Friars Farm in Northampton. Georgina said: “T ere’s always all kinds of things going on here.
When the last bank in the village closed, we invited the Market Harborough Building Society to open a branch in here because it was the only way some people could get money out back then. “We also tried to do what we could during the pandemic.
We were allowed to remain open because we were a pharmacy, so we set up Jeykaways, delivering food to people in lockdown. I remember the anniversary of VE Day and I had this batch of Union Jacks I’d bought from a shop in Wales years earlier because they couldn’t shift them, they had their own fl ag. So, we dug those out and made Union Jack aprons and masks and did VE Day teas that we delivered all around the village. “I’ve always wanted it to be a part of the community and the
village history and heritage.” So, today, at Jeyes of Earls Barton, the pharmacy without a
business plan, you can fi nd everything from a birthday card to celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee; pick up a jar of local chutney or spend a moment of contemplation with John Clare; or fi nd out more about Earls Barton through the years, then enjoy scones in the Moongate Garden. And, after all that, there’s still a pharmacy where you can pick up your prescription.
