The Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 4, 1937) notes: "The church of St. Mary was entirely rebuilt in 1843 on a new plan [...] The old church, according to Bridges, consisted of chancel, nave, north cross-aisle, and west tower and spire, [...] but no adequate record of it has been preserved. [...] The font now used is modern, but the bowl of an ancient one, much weathered, is in the south transept. It is roughly octagonal, but quite plain."
