The Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930) notes: "The churches of St. Peter, the Holy Sepulchre and All Saints are all, as we have seen, probably as old as the Norman Conquest. [...] Bishop Hugh of Lincoln's charter [...] specifies nine by name: All Saints', St. Giles', St. Michael's, Holy Sepulchre, St. Mary's (by the Castle), St. Gregory's, [...] St. Peter's, St. Edmund's and St. Bartholomew's, as well as the chapel of St. Thomas. All these churches then were in existence by 1200 [...] It was originally a cruciform structure [...] the oldest parts of which appear to have dated from the 12th century. The destruction of the medieval fabric in the fire of 1675 was so complete that only the tower and a small crypt below the chancel were preserved. [...] The new church was opened in September 1680, but was not completed in its present form till the beginning of the 18th century. [...] The white marble chalice font was the gift in 1680 of Thomas Willoughby." Pevsner & Cherry (1973) note the present font: "Of marble, given in 1680, the base altered in 1888".
