The Victoria County Histroy (Northamptonshire, vol. 5, 2002) notes: "There was a priest at Stoke Bruerne in 1086 [...] The tower, except for its Perpendicular top stage, is probably of the early 12th century [...] The arch between tower and nave is of c. 1200 […] The plain octagonal font is perhaps of the 13th or 14th century."
