All Saints, Paston
According to a reference book of Northamptonshire villages that was produced in 1841, Paston consisted of "Four detatched farmhouses, and a scattering of cottages". How times have changed! Paston as a small village, along with several others in the area, have been swallowed up by the rapid growth of Peterborough. All Saints was once called the "church in the fields" but these days the population of Paston numbers more than 8,000. The earliest part of the present structure dates back some 800 years. The nave dates from the 14th century and the chancel from the 15th century. The tower dates from the early 14th century and has, as Sweeting noted, a beautiful broache spire, which looked very striking surrounded by trees and highlighted with the winter sunshine. A sundial over the south porch is dated 1756. Three bells hang here. See Peterborough Churchcrawler for further information. - Ken Ince (photographer)
