The Church of All Saints is an Anglican Church and the parish church of Lamport, Northamptonshire. It is a Grade I listed building and stands on the north side of the High Street.

There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for the parish in the Domesday Book, which was compiled in 1086.[1] This may indicate the absence of a church building at that stage or, alternatively, only the absence of a resident priest.

The building was erected in the 12th and 13th centuries, with substantial changes during the 17th to 19th centuries. The latter included the addition of a north chapel in 1672, rebuilding of the chancel from 1737 onwards and construction of a vestry in 1879. The church now consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel, south chapel and west tower. A detailed description appears on the Historic England website[2]

The parish registers survive from 1587 and, apart from those currently in use, are kept at Northamptonshire Record Office.[3] Details of its location and opening times can be found on the Record Office website.[4]

Lamport is part of a united Benefice along with Draughton, Faxton, and Maidwell. Apart from Faxton, each of these parishes retains its own church building.[5]
