Where to stay in Duston
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Duston sleeps like a suburb. The beds here are Northampton beds set a little apart, closer to the Church of Saint Luke and Duston House than to anything in the middle of the city. If you are here for the Duston Roman settlement, or want a parish address near St Francis Church, that is the trade.
St Michael's Church, Upton is the outlier on the list.

About Duston
What are the main landmarks in Duston?
Three churches serve the district. The Church of Saint Luke and St Francis Church stand within Duston itself, while St Michael's Church, Upton belongs to the neighbouring settlement that the district's records take in. Duston House adds a named building to the list, and the Duston Roman settlement gives the district an archaeological record as well as an ecclesiastical one.
Central Northampton holds the rest.
What is the history of Duston?
Roman occupation came first. The Duston Roman settlement is the oldest thing the record sets down here, and everything after it, the Church of Saint Luke, Duston House, the parish itself, belongs to a much later Northampton. No founding year is attached to Duston.
The parish came into the written record alongside St Francis Church and St Michael's Church, Upton, names that fix the district's later centuries as firmly as the Roman settlement fixes its earliest. Northampton grew out to meet it.
