Welcome to the church of  St Mary the Virgin.
Constructed in 1350 and located in the heart of Northamptonshire, our Parish church looks forward to welcoming you to a weekly service, life event, or one of our many events throughout the year. In 2025 St Mary’s is celebrating its 675th Anniversary, for more information click here!

We have a very active church community with various groups and committees meeting throughout the week as well as organising events throughout the year. Our 2025 flower festival, themed around ‘A Walk Through History’ raised over £2,500 for church funds and December 2024 Christmas Tree Festival which saw the church filled with trees decorated with various Christmas stories raised a further £1,600.

St Mary’s is a Grade 1 listed building constructed of local ironstone accommodating up to 350 people. The church is full of character with a notable strainer arch installed in the 14^th or 15^th century and a pipe organ which arrived in 1717 originally built for St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
