St Mary The Virgin at Warmington
It is thought that there was a smaller church on this site as far back as 963. Most of the present structure was built inbetween the years 1180 and 1280. Some rebuilding was undertaken in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 16th century, buttresses were added to the chancel walls, which had started to lean outwards. In the mid 1980's the church here was described by the Royal Commission On Historical Monuments as being... ' an oustanding building of the late twelth and early thirteenth century...'
When North compiled his mid Victorian look at the church bells of Northamptonshire there were five bells hanging here. Three of these were cast by the Norris family, who had premises in Stamford. - Ken Ince (photographer)
