The Venue

Fawsley Hall

Daventry, Northamptonshire

Fawsley Hall is a 15th century country house, surrounded by 2,000 acres of tranquil parkland. We’ve chosen it as the venue for our wedding for its grand architecture, interesting history and beautiful surroundings. The earliest part of the house was built in the 15th century and Queen Elizabeth I stayed there in 1575.

Multiple extensions were made over the years including the Georgian Wing and Victorian Wing. In the 1760’s the famous landscape gardener Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown transformed the surrounding parkland creating sweeping vistas and the beautiful surroundings present today. We can’t wait to celebrate our special day here with you all.

About the couple

The Bride

Julia Nicholson

I think most of you have some idea who I am(?!) It may however shock some to discover that despite being a Northerner and living in Cheshire and Yorkshire for most of my life, I was in fact born in Oxford.

I work as a paediatric consultant in Halifax/Huddersfield and enjoy dragging James on dangerous hikes in my spare time.

The Groom

James Brunwin

I’m the one who made this website (so blame me if it stops working)! Also originally from Oxfordshire, I’ve now found myself up North, happily surrounded by pies and Yorkshire puddings.

I’m a web developer and enjoy all things nerdy. Julia keeps taking me on outdoor adventures and I think she’s trying to kill me!
