Find a church

The old church at Mereworth was found to spoil the view of John Fane, 7th Earl of Westmorland, from his splendid new Palladian house, so he demolished it (he had already done away with the old castle and the village) and built a new classical church, and a new village, nearby.

Externally it is the late 15th century tower that grabs one's attention.

Resting place of King Richard III.

St Peter’s is a large, Grade II Victorian church built between 1872 and 1879 to the design of George Edmund Street.

Grade II listed Baptist church building erected in the 1830s Georgian period, hosting a large tracker action organ and the William Carey museum.

An interesting 1889 self build, corrugated iron construction (Tin Tabernacle) made by Boulton & Paul of Norwich.

This 18th century church has retained many outstanding features including a three tier pulpit; Nicholas Pevsner described it as 'Of the churches of the Early Gothic Revival this is one of the most remarkable in England'.

A medieval wonder in a pretty village.

St Peter's is legitimately another claimant for the title 'best Northamptonshire steeple'.

A much loved traditional church of early medieval origin with later tower and windows, showing evidence of major refurbishments in the 17th and 19th centuries.
