Ken Ince's Pictures of Laxton

All Saints, Laxton

Laxton is a village of about 150 people in a delightful part of Northamptonshire. For the cyclist this is a bit too hilly if anything but this is a genuinely lovely area. Bulwick and Blatherwycke can be found just the other side of the A43, and off to the west is Harringworth and its three quarters of a mile long viaduct.    The church of All Saints, also known as All Hallows until the 16th century, dates from the 12th and 13th century, with the west tower dating from the late 13th century. This church underwent massive restoration in the 1860's, with Lord Carbery from nearby Laxton Hall being responsible for the restoration work. At this time the chancel was rebuilt, and a north aisle was added, which was made to the designs of Lord Carbery himself.
