Church of the Holy Cross, Grade I listed parish church in Daventry, England.
The Georgian-style Holy Cross Church features three wooden galleried aisles, a marquetry-adorned pulpit, and a three-bayed Venetian stained glass window above the altar.
Architects William and David Hiorne constructed the church between 1752 and 1758, with construction costs reaching £3,468, equivalent to £620,000 in 2023.
The church maintains its role as a central religious gathering place in Daventry, offering regular worship services and community events throughout the year.
The Church of the Holy Cross occupies 638 square meters of ground area and contains multiple war graves within its churchyard perimeter.
This structure stands as the sole eighteenth-century town church in Northamptonshire, built with local ironstone materials characteristic of the region.
