Cold Ashby St Denys

 

The Parish

The parish of Cold Ashby is situated in northwestern Northamptonshire close to the border with neighbouring Leicestershire. The village is sited just south of the busy cross-country route, the A14 and west of the A5199 which connects that road with Northampton. The area is famous for being the site of the battle of Naseby, the decisive battle of the Civil War which took place just a couple of miles east of Cold Ashby at the neighbouring village of Naseby. The parish is crossed by the Grand Union Canal which links southern Britain to the Soar at Leicester. Cold Ashby is a compact village crossed by a couple of lanes which meet in the village centre. The parish is set in a largely pastoral landscape of green fields and high hedges, this is prime fox-hunting country and the land is managed accordingly. The land is rolling and quite high for Middle England, Cold Ashby is at almost 200 metres above seal level. The parish covered just over 2,000 acres and supported almost 450 parishioners. Cold Ashby has been around for a long time, in Domesday Book it merits 4 separate mentions due to fragmented holdings and supported 8 ploughs.


The Church

St Denys' church is sited at the heart of the village adjacent to the main crossroads of lanes. The church merits only a terse description in Pevsner, it clearly didn't impress him with its architectural merits. The church has nave and chancel with a western tower, a familiar arrangement. The church is fairly typical Perpendicular but does feature a Norman arch on the northern doorway which is indicative of earlier origins. Most of the building appears to have been constructed between 12th and 14th centuries but there was extensive restoration in Victorian times and much is masked thereby. The church is set in a tightly enclosed site and is raised above road level with a stone wall holding back the ground, a great feature is the stone lych gate which fronts the site and is rather magnificent.
