The Church of St Edward the Confesser stands proud as you enter the pretty Northamptonshire village of Shalstone. It stands up from the road in very well kept grounds. The arched hedge you walk through to the main door is pleasant. Unfortunately the church was locked on my visit, but I will return to see inside. The church was rebuilt by the local famous architect - George Gilbert Scott in the late 1800's.

Definitely worth a visit. Prior to our visit, we had not heard of this place and chose it based on distance to travel. It is a National Trust property so free for members, otherwise £11.60 with gift aid. Everyone from car park steward to the ladies scanning our NT cards, to the volunteers in the different rooms of the house and the staff in the cafe were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The volunteers in the rooms were also very knowledgeable and were interesting to listen to. There are also information folders in each room and on arrival you are given a leaflet with a floor plan and room information. The gardens and church open at 10am and the house at 11.30am. Arrive early as it gets busy. The church is what remains of an Augustinian Priory. The gardens are lovely with great views of the surrounding countryside. The Stables tea room has indoor and outdoor seating. There is a selection of hot food (jacket potatoes, soup), sandwiches and cakes plus options for hot and cold drinks. Service was prompt and the food was good.
