Rushden
Church continues to serve as a centre of the village community. Although
not very large, it is very welcoming. Inside the Church can be seen a statue
of the Virgin Mary sculpted by Percy Portsmouth, who also sculpted his wife's
tombstone which can be seen in the graveyard. In the field behind the church,
can be seen the house platform to the original mediaeval manor house. |

The Meetkerke monument
can be found in the Church. The Meetkerke monument commemorates Adolphus
Meetkerke Dutch Ambassador to Elizabeth 1, who lived in Julian's Manor.
His family continued to live there until the end of the nineteenth century
and other monuments to them can also be seen in the Church. |

The kneelers were designed
and made by the village community. Each one is unique.
