St Helen's Church, Oxendon
St Helen's Church is an Anglican Church and the parish church of Oxendon. It is a Grade II* listed building and stands on the west side of Harborough Road, to the north of the village of Great Oxendon. There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for the parish in the Domesday Book, which was compiled in 1086.[1] This may indicate the absence of a church building at that stage or, alternatively, only the absence of a resident priest. The main structure of the present building was erected in the 13th and 14th centuries. Restoration was carried out in the 19th century. The church consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel and west tower. A detailed description appears on the Historic England website.[2] The parish registers[3] survive from 1564 and, apart from those currently in use, are kept at Northamptonshire Record Office.[4] Details of its location and opening times can be found on the Record Office website.[5] Oxendon is part of a united Benefice along with Arthingworth, East Farndon and Harrington. Each parish retains its own church building.[6] Notes Wikimedia Commons has media related to St Helen's church, Great Oxendon.
