This photograph of the Norman Church of Saint Lawrence at Towcester was taken from Moat Lane with a view of historic cottages to the right. The stone edifice, partly in the Early English style, consists of a chancel, clerestoried nave, aisles, south porch, and a noble embattled western tower with clock. William Sponne, archdeacon of Norfolk, was rector between 1422-48. On the re-pewing of the church in 1835, his tomb was lowered, and on being opened, the skeleton of the was found in perfect preservation.
