Background
History
The church is made up of a chancel, south chapel, north porch with parvis above, nave, and two aisles. The parvis was built to be a chamber for the priest. The Gunpowder Plot is said ("an implausible rumour") to have been planned here but the manor house at Ashby St Ledgers, Northamptonshire also claims to be the site. Stoke Dry's manor was held by the Digby family in the early 17th century. Sir Everard Digby was one of the Gunpowder plotters and was executed for his role. Beside the tomb is a memorial inscribed to a Dorothy Stevens. There is also a table tomb to a different Everard Digby (died 1540).
