The present church dates from the thirteenth century and stands on the site of an earlier one built around 1100. The church is dedicated to St Katherine of Alexandria. The tower with spire is topped with a weather vane pierced in the form of a Katherine wheel and rises to 160 feet (http://www.rushdenheritage.co.uk/Villages/Irchester/irchester-intro.html Rushden Research).
