All Saints Church at Brixworth, in Northamptonshire dates from at least 675AD, and is said by some to be the finest Anglo-Saxon building north of the Alps as well as the second oldest church in England. Some people believe that part of the building is the remains of a Roman basilica, and is therefore much older. What is not in dispute is that Roman pantiles are used in its construction, in the classic Roman pattern. The main window arches are also of a classic Roman pattern.
