The Church of St Lawrence is of mid 12th century origin and is still in use for public worship. {1}{2} 'A problem church as bad as the worst in Northamptonshire. But first the straight forward parts. Early English north arcade of two bays, round piers, round abaci, double-chamfered arches. One wider south arch, also Early English. The responds triple. Decorated arches east of these connected with the transepts. The south transept indeed has a Decorated south window (reticulated tracery), though a small east lancet (reset, as we shall see). The north transept north window is Perpendicular. The west tower is Decorated. Tower arch with continuous chamfers (one hollow chamfer). Two-light bell-openings with transom. The spire was destroyed in 1762. But now, why is that tower inside not centred on the two early English arcades? And why does the south arcade start so much further east than the north arcade? In this piece of blank south wall is a Norman doorway in a later porch. The doorway has one order of shafts with block capitals and bases decorated with zig-zag. The tympanum is entirely plain. Arch with zig-zag. Hoodmould with St Andrew's crosses. If this doorway is in-situ, can there perhaps have been a south-west tower originally which was then replaced by the Decorated tower? That is at least an answer, but there is no answer to the problem of the transept east walls. In the north transept is a straight jamb down, and Cox called its details long-and-short. Even if it is not that, what is it? And in the south transept are two straight joints isolating what seems to have been a Norman square pier. Can they have been conducted with chapels, with porticus? Octagonal plain font on five short Early English supports with a simple, perpendicular font cover. Perpendicular screen with one-light divisions. Under the tower is an 18th century dole cupboard for Charles Bertie's charity (died 1730), set out in racks for loaves of bread. The church is down a lane at the south end of the village, surrounded by trees and with two pretty Victorian cast-iron lamp standards.' {3} For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {4}
