Description
The Church of Saint Botolph features a Norman chancel, nave, and central tower, likely dating from the early 12th century. The south aisle, which is from the 13th or 14th century, was enlarged in 1878 by the architects Carpenter and Ingelow. Notable features include a carved Norman tympanum above the north doorway and a brass with verses and figures from 1616. The church contains several monuments: one from 1724 dedicated to John Bridges, a historian of Northamptonshire; a marble monument from 1741 adorned with cherubim; a carved marble piece from 1718 by Thomas Green; and another carved marble monument from 1754. The Church of St Botolph, along with the Rectory and Rectory Cottage, forms a cohesive group.
