All Saints Church (Brixworth)

All Saints Church is the parish church of the Northamptonshire village of Brixworth.

It stands on a high spot in the old centre of the village

One of England`s most famous Anglo-Saxon churches, it was built about 680 as a minster church by monks from Peterborough. In addition to the local ironstone, there are Roman bricks and tiles used in the construction.

The famous architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner called this "perhaps the most imposing architectural memorial of the seventh century surviving North of the Alps", and said that it "surpasses all other Anglo-Saxon churches in England".

The church has been added to over the centuries, and includes a Gothic South transept, now used as a Lady Chapl.
