Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 20 reviews
Members of the Montagu Family were buried, and often commemorated by contemporary monuments, in churches in two of the villages on the Boughton Estate. With Saxon origins and Norman remains, St Edmund's Church in the village of Warkton, to the south of Boughton House, is distinguished by its Chancel, containing an exceptional grouping of four world class monuments to the last three generations of the Montagu family of Boughton. It was designed and built, in 1751, by Louis Francois Roubiliac, the greatest sculptor active in England in the 18th century, to house his individual monuments to John, Duke of Montagu and his Duchess wife, Mary. The two other niches were subsequently filled by monuments to John and Mary's daughter and granddaughter. In 2014 - 2015 the Montagu Monuments Conservation Project undertook major works to all four of the principal monuments in St Edmund's church, Warkton, to secure and protect them from damage caused, possibly, by over zealous cleaning in the past and by environmental issues, including pollution and high humidity levels. These monuments have now been secured and restored to their former glory.

Set in the heart of rural Northamptonshire, Lyveden is a remarkable survivor of the Elizabethan age. Begun by Sir Thomas Tresham to symbolise his Catholic faith, Lyveden remains incomplete and virtually unaltered since work stopped on his death in 1605. Due to the current work of the Lyveden Reconnected project, Lyveden is closed until June 2021.

A lovely place for a walk - the grounds and folly are surrounded by countryside and woodland that you can walk for miles in. Good dog walking territory
