The Parish
The parish
or Orton Longueville lies in the extreme north of Huntingdonshire forming
part of the border with neighbouring Northamptonshire. Orton Longueville
is located about 2 miles southwest of the Northamptonshire city of Peterborough
and lies just west of the A1260 (Peterborough's western bypass) and north
of the A1139 (Peterborough's connection to the A1 Great North Road). Once
a separate small village nestling on the southern banks of the river Nene,
Orton Longueville has become an integral part of the fast-growing conurbation
that is modern day Peterborough. Motivated initially by London "overspill",
the movement of surplus London population to smaller centres, and latterly
by the theories of the "New Town" movement Orton Longueville
is now a dormitory settlement of the city. It's economy would, at the
time of this transcript, have been dominated by farming, a mixed regime
exploiting both the pastures of the Nene valley and the dryer arable hills
around, supplemented by quarrying the local ironstone for building and
road stone. The Nene drains the parish eastwards, skirting the city of
Peterborough, across the Fens to the North Sea through The Wash. Orton
Longueville is sited at around 10 metres above the sea, land is flat across
the Nene Valley but rises gently westwards to reach local heights of around
50 metres. Orton Longueville parish was originally small, covering just
1,400 acres, in 1707 its absorbed neighbouring Botolph Bridge parish increasing
its acreage to 2,400 acres and supporting a population of around 250 parishioners.
In Domesday times Orton Longueville was a holding of Eustace the Sheriff,
a small and insignificant place of just 3 ploughs and a small meadow.

The Church
Holy Trinity
church lies next to the site of Orton Hall, nowadays a hotel complex,
a Tudor Gothic mansion formerly home to the Cope family. The church has
documentary evidence of its existence dating to 1247 but of that church
only the bases of columns remain as a complete rebuild was initiated in
1275. Of the 13th century the northern chapel and tower base are confidently
datable, the remainder of the church is in the Decorated style and probably
14th century. The fenestration to the chancel has documentary evidence
dating it to between 1330 and 1350 and this seems a perfectly viable date
too for the aisles and arcades albeit the southern aisle was widened in
1675. There were the usual restorations of Victorian and later times,
1890s and 1908 - 1909 are mentioned but solely in respect of re-roofing
so any refresh was probably light and sensitive. The main road past the
church has the confusing name of The Village and the church sits on the
western immediately south the hotel. The road is narrow but there is space
to park at the southern end of the site where a diagonal path leads into
the churchyard through a pair of wooden gates. Sadly many trees cluster
around the western end of the building making for a tricky piece to fully
acquire.
