Olney belonged to a descendant of the King of Mercia before becoming part of the Viking lands. During the 18th Century, Olney was a staging post for travellers. Horse-drawn coaches passed through taking people between Kettering and the Newport Pagnell Turnpike. It is said that by 1754 there were 27 inns in the town. This was also the home of poet William Cowper and writer, curate John Newton who wrote the 'Olney Hymns' together.
