The Victoria County history (Northamptonshire, vol. 3, 1930) notes: "The church of St. James [...] was granted by Baldwin, son of Gilbert, to the Abbey of Bourne in Lincolnshire, which he founded in 1138. [...] The chancel is substantially of the later part of the 13th century [...] The font dates from 1888." [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
