Archaeology
Resource PageOne of the best Norman churches in Britain. Its sophistication in design and ornament is a reflection of the national importance of Northampton in the Middle Ages. It was a Royal seat, and it was here that the Thomas à Becket trial took place in 1164. Built on a large Saxon site near the castle, the church was built around 1170 and is associated with the 1st Earl of Northampton, Simon de St Liz. The striking feature is the carved frieze topped by grotesque corbels along both sides of the basilica. It was restored by Sir GG Scott in 1850.
