Church of St Mary and All Saints, Fotheringhay, Medieval parish church in Fotheringhay, United Kingdom.
The church features an octagonal lantern tower, standing between the River Nene and Willow Brook with fan-vaulted ceilings and decorated Elizabethan tombs.
During the Wars of the Roses, this church served as a mausoleum for the Dukes of York, with Richard III bringing his father and brother for reburial in 1476.
The painted pulpit displays the arms of House Plantagenet alongside Yorkist symbols: a white boar, white lion, and black bull representing royal heritage.
The building underwent extensive repairs in 2017-2018, receiving new facilities including modern heating systems, storage areas, and restrooms for current visitors.
Elizabeth I provided funds to create elaborate tombs for Duke Richard and Earl Edmund, decorated with Falcon and Fetterlock symbols indicating completed duty.
