If you ask people to name all the architects they can think of, most will probably say “Frank Lloyd Wright, Jesus, and the aliens who made the pyramids.”

For whatever reason, we just don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the people who design the things we use every day. But occasionally, we come across a piece of architecture so stunning that it absolutely can’t be ignored.

That’s the kind of thing that gets rounded up on Reddit, and boy oh boy you should prepare to feast your eyes.

Could there be a more British sounding place than “Northamptonshire?”
