The Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin – Warmington – East Northamptonshire

This stunning church was discovered while campaigning during the Corby by-election of 2012. This time, thanks to a chat on a doorstep, with a gentleman who lived just yards away. It was some years later, having moved to the East Midlands, before I could return to see the interior of this spectacular church – so excitably described by the gentleman – along with the Domesday book, it houses.

The reason for his enthusiasm became clear as I entered, its spectacular roof is beyond beautiful. The ribbed vault, and the honeytone colours of the wood, are the perfect example, to show off the master craftmanship used in the construction, an imitation of stone vaulting.
