Church Lane, Thornby Northampton, NN6 8SN, United Kingdom

The parish church in Thornby is a constant presence in village life and is warmly supported by the wider community. It plays a valued role in traditional church and rural festivals throughout the year and is an important setting for family occasions such as weddings, funerals, and baptisms.

Services are held at 9.30 am on the first Sunday of each month, and on other Sundays we join with fellow churches in the Uplands Group for worship.

Access to the church is level. 

Access to the church buildings other than for services is by arrangement - please contact one of the Ministry team.

The Church of St Helen, Thornby, is set back from the western side of Welford Road and St Helen's Close, with the Thornby Road junction close to the south. A large part of the village still belongs to one family while the church originated in the 1200s, with fourteenth century additions and expansion. It employs squared coursed and regular coursed lias with ashlar dressings and a slate roof to form a nave, north aisle, chancel, vestry, and three-stage west tower.
