St George the Martyr, Wootton
St. George’s is the ‘Church of England’ parish church situated in the lovely old village of Wootton, just outside Northampton, in the rural county of Northamptonshire.
It serves the communities of Wootton, Wootton Fields, Simpson Manor and Turners and also includes the villages of Quinton and Preston Deanery.
The Church was built of stone, by the Bidun family, Lords of the manor of Wootton, in the early English style, on an artificial mound, in 1265, in the centre of the Wootton village and in the Diocese of Peterborough. It is dedicated to Saint George the Martyr and is older than Westminster Abbey. It is Grade 1 listed [May 1968] and its location, the High Street, is a conservation area.
