Church of St.Peter and St.Paul,Abington Park,Northampton
Known locally as the Church in the Park,it was built over 800years ago,as a place of worship for the inhabitants of the manor house and estate workers and their families.
The manor house is now Abington Museum,and the church is still a place of worship for the local area.
The families ,who owned the house,are commemorated in the church e.g.Sir John Bernard and his wife,Elizabeth Nash(who was Shakespeare's granddaughter),and William Thursby,a barrister and M.P.for Northampton.
The carved wooden pulpit is believed to have come from the workshop ofGrinling Gibbons.
This is a Fav for me. I love the structure, the color and how everything is just so interesting. It would have been interesting to see a picture at night, with light shining through that beautiful window. Nice shot!
