Church of St. Firmin

The Church of St. Firmin is a Grade I listed parish church located on the south side of High Street in North Crawley. The church is constructed of stone and features bold mouldings, well-carved gargoyles, battlemented parapets, and lead roofs. The west tower and nave date from around 1100, while the south aisle was added around 1210. The chancel was rebuilt in 1290, and the north aisle was constructed in the early 14th century. The chancel screen, dating from the late 14th to early 15th century, has eight bays with much original painting, a fan-vaulted head, tracery, and painted figures of kings and bishops in the lower panelling, two in each bay.

The chancel has two late Early English windows on each side and a similar three-light east window, along with a double piscina from the Early English period. The chancel roof is from the 15th century. The nave features a south arcade with five bays supported by octagonal piers with carved caps, and a north arcade with four bays that have piers of clustered shafts, moulded caps, and bases. The clerestory has five three-light windows, and the nave roof is panelled with moulded beams, elaborate bosses, and angels at the junctions, with trusses supported on tall brackets formed of carved figures, including twelve Apostles standing on peacocks, six on each side, all from the 15th century. A similar roof is found in the chancel.

The font is octagonal and dates from the Early English period, with a castellated wooden cover made by T.L. in 1640. The front of the nave has early 16th-century pews, with box pews mostly from the 18th century and a few from the 17th century. The pulpit and Royal Arms are from the 18th century. There are brass and wall monuments on the north wall of the chancel, including one to Elizabeth Giffard from 1687, as well as other monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. The tower has four stages, with a Decorated bell chamber featuring large decorated windows and a battlemented parapet, while the lower part is Norman.
