| 1 - Lord Northampton
lives in the Elizabethan Manor House, set amid
parkland, together with its private
chapel.
The chapel dates from the
Restoration, and was rebuilt in the old tradition after damage during the Civil
War. Old materials were used, and the church has since escaped any further
"restoration".
There is a single arcade running down the centre of the church,
with box-pews either side. There is no chancel as such, and the pulpit is
half-way down the south side of the church.

ACCESS |
| Map reference : SP317455 The
chapel stands next the private road between the
Manor House and the Estate buildings, which are a
short way to its west. The church is locked, and is
only open when the House is also open. At
other times the main drive to the House and the
separate access to the Estate buildings are marked
"Private" and the road to the buildings is
marked specifically as "No access to
church"
