St Peters Church- Northampton - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

St Peter's can lay claim to being the most outstanding Norman church in the county. Its Norman capitals of 1150 are richly and beautifully carved with faces and foliage, birds and beasts, and decorative motifs of high quality.
Sir George Gilbert Scott restored the whole church in 1850, reconstructing most of the clerestory but thankfully leaving the Norman carvings well alone. There are other delights to St Peter's: the 14th century font, a 12th century grave slab with astonishingly clear relief carving and some fine Victorian stained glass.

Unfortunately this church is no longer in use and is Preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust .
