According to a few articles online, Northampton was actually capital of England from 931 for a couple of hundred years. I have not found any sources for these claims yet.

Northampton has got a cathedral, although it is a Roman Catholic one instead of an Anglican one. Ironically, though that stops Northampton being designated a city now, it wouldn't have in the few hundred years between England's unification and the start of the Anglican church.
