All Saints Church, Aldwincle, Gothic church building in Aldwincle, England
The limestone structure features a square tower with four stages, buttresses, carved string courses, and a battlemented parapet along its exterior walls.
Established in 1201, the church expanded during the 13th and 14th centuries with additions of the north aisle, vestry, and clerestory to its original design.
The church holds significance as the baptismal site of John Dryden, the influential poet born in 1631 at the nearby rectory.
The church opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM and stands near the River Nene, approximately 12 miles northeast of Kettering off A605 Oundle.
The interior contains an octagonal font from the 13th century and preserves fragments of medieval wall paintings alongside a Jacobean communion rail.
