Location: Fotheringhay, a peaceful riverside village in the district of East Northamptonshire, England.
St Mary and All Saints church features an almost cathedral like, magnificent octagonal lantern tower.
Fotheringhay is historically notable for its castle and the fact that this is where Mary Queen of Scots was tried and beheaded in 1587, and where her body lay for some months before its burial at Peterborough Cathedral and then to its final resting place in Westminster Abbey.
Although it is often said that James I, son of Queen Mary, destroyed the castle because his mother was killed there, but is more likely it fell into such disrepair that it had to be pulled down, and the stones were taken to be used in other buildings.
