Our parish church stands as the focal point of the village, lying on the central village crossroads near the appropriately named River Jordan. Its magnificent elongated spire, built in the late 14th Century or early 15th Century is a key landmark.
All Saints is a member of a United Benefice of four Anglican churches on the border of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. It is a place of much historical interest, with links to the Lollard Movement and also the landowning Latimer and Griffin families.
A warm welcome is offered to everyone to come and join in our worship. We celebrate Holy Communion on the first Sunday and Morning Worship on the third Sunday of each month.
