Northamptonshire’s St Mary the Virgin Church in Titchmarsh

St Mary the Virgin, Titchmarsh, Northamptonshire

Ian is going on a work trip to Warrington for an audit, and is not too thrilled about it. He wakes up early, packs, and his wife drops him off on the promenade for a morning walk before he picks up the car. The day promises to be bright, albeit cold. Ian struggles to get the tiny Toyota Yaris up the hill and embarks on his trip. He makes his way towards Manchester, where he is to visit a former colleague who lives in Warrington. Ian’s trip to the colleague’s house takes him past Fotheringhay Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned and executed. Ian decides to take a detour and visit the castle. He finds St Mary and All Saints, a 15th century church that was the parish church of the House of York, where several Kings, including Richard III, were buried. Despite this, the church is not filled with memorials, which surprised Ian. He photographs the place and sets back on his journey.

Ian later parks his car in Titchmarsh village, where he visits the church, which is filled with newer artefacts like Victorian wall paintings. He continues his journey to reach Warrington by 4 pm, where he visits a friend and her two large dogs on the other side of town. He gets a call from a work colleague, urging him to get to the hotel before the heavy snow hits. Ian leaves and drives through the snowy landscape, reaching his destination safely but with the fuel light on. He pulls up at a gatehouse marking the entrance to a golf club, and his hotel.
