Hi Joseph,
I don't believe the village was subject to flooding or a more appropriate
site would have been used. Capability Brown landscaped on a grand scale,
probably put a dam across a water course to flood it. The only buildings to
escape were Fawsley Hall (good career move:-)) and the church. I have a lot
of shots of the 13th century church because I keep meaning to do a piece on
it. From the outside it looks really plain but the interior is amazing for
such a small place.
