Described in the Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 4, 1937): "A church was built here during the first half of the 12th century [...] Of this church little is left but the upper part of the nave walls above the arcades and the lower part of the tower: the scalloped capital of a nook-shaft inserted in the wall near the south doorway appears to be c. 1140. [...] The 13th-century font has a plain circular bowl and short stem, on two circular steps. It has a late tall crocketed pyramidal oak cover." Pevsner & Cherry (1973) mention only the cover: "C15, but much re-done."
