St Mary's Church, Grendon, Northamptonshire
This Grade II*-listed church in the beautiful Northamptonshire village of Grendon is built from limestone rubble with ironstone dressings. In the church are the remains, in the form of two rounded arches, of the original 12th century building. The two eastern bays of the nave arcades and the chancel were rebuilt between 1368 and 1380, with the clerestory being added in the 15th century along with the four-storey tower.
On the far right of the picture can be seen the beautiful Grade II-listed war memorial. The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. The one at Grendon dates from 1920, and like virtually all others has been updated to commemorate those lost in WWII. The memorial stands in the south-east corner of the churchyard.
