City of Badby: anciently called Baddebi, is two and one half miles from Daventry. The Village stands on the side of a sandy ascent called Badby-Down, and there are numerous springs of water and quarries of hard blue rag-stone in the neighborhood. The name of the place may be derived from the Saxon bad or bade, a pledge in security, and bye, a dwelling or habitation in allusion, possibly two circumstances now forgotten, connected to its original foundation. In Badby, the Root family owned an Inn in the early 1800s.
