Water Newton St Remigius

 

The Parish

The parish of Water Newton lies in the extreme northwest of Huntingdonshire, indeed it forms part of the border with neighbouring Northamptonshire. Water Newton is located about 5 miles west of the Northamptonshire city of Peterborough. Water Newton is a small and compact village sitting just to the north of the A1 (London to Edinburgh) road, in coaching days this would have passed through the village but now sweeps as a busy dual carriageway just to Water Newton's south. Water Newton consist of a single street (The Old North Road) of properties on the southern banks of the River Nene. At the time of this transcript Water Newton would have earned its living from arable farming as well quarrying for the local limestone for building. The Nene drains the parish eastwards running to the North Sea through The Wash. Water Newton is sited at just 10 metres above the sea, it sits in the valley and local heights rise to busy 40 metres in gently rolling countryside. Water Newton parish was small, even by the standards of its county, it covered around 800 acres and would have supported a population of just under 100 parishioners. In Domesday times Water Newton was held Thorney Abbey and could offer 7 ploughs, small meadows and 2 mills.


The Church

St Remigius' church sits almost on the banks of the Nene to the north of The Old North Road and accessed by a gated track leading north from there. St Remigius has its origins in the 13th century and is largely built in the early English Gothic style of that century. The western tower and arcades show the style well. From the later period comes the clerestory which shows the Y-shaped tracery of the Decorated style. Most of the chancel & nave was refreshed if not rebuilt during the Perpendicular era as the windows show that style and the later fashion of the 17th century. The church stands at the end of the track in a rather tree shrouded churchyard which restricts the angles available to photography markedly.
