Wilby St Mary

 

The Parish

The parish of Wilby lies in southeastern Northamptonshire close to the substantial market town of Wellingborough. Wilby is a compact village, which has stretched in recent times with growth towards its larger neighbour, lying on the A4500 road which links Wellingborough to Northampton, it is about two miles southwest of Wellingborough. With the dual-carriageway A45 close by the A4500 is now a much quieter road and Wilby with it. Most of Wilby is built around the junction of the A4500 and the lane which heads northeastwards towards Mears Ashby although as said there is now a linear strip which is joining Wilby to the rapidly expanding town along the A4500 itself. The village was noted for being involved in the manufacture of parchment, there are also limestone quarries to give an alternative to agriculture. Wilby is built along the valley of a small tributary of the River Nene, this tributary meets the River Ise at Wellingborough before joining the Nene to ultimately leave via The Wash. Wilby is sited at about 75 metres above the sea in the valley, land rises to above 100 metres above the sea to both north and south. The parish is a relatively small one covering around 1,100 acres and it would have supported about 430 parishioners. In Domesday times the land was held by one Countess Judith and supported 7 ploughs.


The Church

St Mary's church sits at the end, appropriately enough, of Church Lane a narrow lane which leads northwards off the A4500 and bends round to meet the Mears Ashby lane. This church is really all about the western tower which Pevsner describes as "remarkable and which he describes in great detail. To build a spire on top of an octagon on top of a square, all supplemented with flying buttresses and pinnacles is quite unique and a formidable design and build. The rest of the church is not without merit, much also is in the Decorated style although the chancel was rebuilt in 1853. The church sits in a fairly open site behind a low wall of local limestone, a pair of metal gates at the western corner gives access and there are few restriction to photography other than some manicured yews.
