Great Harrowden is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, with a population at the 2011 census of 161.〔( Office for National Statistics: Great Harrowden CP: Parish headcounts ). Retrieved 15th July 2015〕 The village sits astride the busy A509 running between Kettering and Wellingborough - although a bypass is due to be built shortly. The village forms part of the Orlingbury hundred. Nearby settlements include Little Harrowden, Isham and Finedon. ==Church== The church (All Saints) dates back to Norman times and is famous for its medieval Doom; at Great Harrowden, the Doom sits very high up - at clerestory level. The work is not sophisticated but is considered to be one of the best and most complete Dooms remaining in England. The church is mainly made of ironstone apart from the tower, which is ashlar. The tower was rebuilt in 1822; there was formerly a spire, but this collapsed in the 18th century. The church contains some 16th-century plate (Cup: 1695; Paten: 1698) and a brass to William Harrowden. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Harrowden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
