The village of Barnwell (formerly Barnwell All Saints and Barnwell St Andrew) is located in North Northamptonshire, about 2 miles south of the town of Oundle. The village is situated on the River Nene, and is surrounded by farmland and woodland.
Barnwell has a long history, dating back to at least the 11th century. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and was once home to a castle and a monastery. Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, with its many historic buildings and picturesque setting.
One of the most notable landmarks in Barnwell is Barnwell Castle. The castle was built in the 13th century, and was once the home of the Montagu family. It was later used as a Royal Mint during the English Civil War, and was eventually abandoned in the 18th century. Today, the castle ruins are open to the public, and offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Another important landmark in Barnwell is St Andrew's Church. The church was built in the 13th century, and is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Northamptonshire. The church contains many important historical features, including a 14th-century tomb and a 15th-century stained glass window.
