Neo gothic style, constructed in 1885 from Elland flagstones and Horsforth sandstone.

This church is consistently described as beautiful and elegant, it has the tallest spire in the county, standing a magnificent 210 feet high with many interesting and quirky items within.

It is not known when Oundle School was founded but it was reendowed in 1556 by William Laxton, Master of The Grocers Company and Lord Mayor of London.

Two unusual 17th century monuments should be enough to encourage a trip to this remote village adjacent to the borders of Huntingdonshire.

Ancient and quietly awe inspiring in its simplicity; the remote location, the silence inside, the slight smell of damp and the obvious centuries of use speak of a village that has retained its identity for many generations.

This church has strong American associations as during the Second World War some 6,000 men and women of the 351st Heavy Bombardment Group Eight, United States Army Airforce, was stationed at the newly created Polebrook Airbase.

The whole church is, in a way, a memorial to the Watts Russell family whose seat is at nearby Biggin Hall.
