The churchyard. The Anglican parish church of St Mary Magdalene has Anglo-Saxon origins. There are parts from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. The tower was heightened and there were other alterations in the 15th century. The church was restored and the porch added in the 19th century. There was another restoration in 1904-6. Constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar roofs, probably of lead. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1052076 Geddington is a village in Northamptonshire, on the main road between Kettering, about 3 miles southwest, and Corby, about 4 miles north. The River Ise runs through the village and is crossed by a medieval bridge. There is evidence of Iron Age, Roman and Saxon occupation. The village is home to the best preserved Eleanor cross of the three remaining. A Royal hunting lodge once stood to the north of the village but no trace remains.
