Grade I

Principal home of the Catesby family from 1375 to the first part of the 1600s. The manor was briefly confiscated in 1485 following the execution of William Catesby, a principle councilor to Richard III, who had been captured by Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth (22 August 1485). The manor next  came to prominence when Robert Catesby (1573 – November 8, 1605), became the originator of the Gunpowder Plot to blow up James I and Parliament in 1605.

The Anglo-Saxon church of All Saints, Brixworth in Northamptonshire stands on a hill over looking the village. Built from local ironstone and lias it consists of a west tower, nave, presbytery, south aisle Lady Chapel, and apse. Though restored in the 1860s it retains a number of features from when it was built in 680 AD.
 
The church is some 140ft long and 30ft wide, making it the largest Angle-Saxon chuch in England, and one of the most important architectural buildings in the country.
 

 
The parish church of St Giles, Chesterton, is mostly of an early C14 Decorated style, with some remnants of an earlier C13 church. The church itself is in an isolated field some distance from the village, but near to the old Peytos mansion that was pulled down in 1802. Its isolation makes the inscription on the sundial strange, as there were hardly ever anyone around to loiter.
 

Built in 1632 to a design attributed to either Indigo Jones or his pupil John Stone. The design of this windmill is unique both structurally and mechanically. It is a circular structure which consists of a high open ground floor with six pillars and raking round arches, and an upper floor. There is no staircase and access to the upper floor must have been by ladder.
 
The machinery was modified in 1860 and last used in 1910.
 
The Newport Tower (Rhode Island) is a similar construction and is thought to have been modelled on this windmill.
