St Lawrence Church, Long Buckby
Long Buckby has an extensive history; the village was recorded in the Domesday Book as Buchebei. Today the mound remaining of a castle built by Sahir de Quincy in the 12th century remains.
The parish church, St. Lawrence, has an impressive Early English, tall, square belltower, dating back to the 12th century and containing a clock and 5 bells dating from 1624 to 1814. The main part of the church was added later with subsequent alterations to the north and south aisles. The church was restored internally in 1862, the external restoration of the south aisle was carried out in 1883, and the north aisle was restored in 1885. Along the sides are high gothic windows.
