Passenham is a small village by Old Stratford in the south-west of Northamptonshire. It is found just north of the Great Ouse, which river forms the border with Buckinghamshire, across which stands Stony Stratford, at the edge of Milton Keynes.[1]
Church
The Church of St Guthlac has a late 13th-century tower, the upper part rebuilt 1626. The chancel was built in 1626 by Sir Robert Banastre.[2] Some remarkable furnishings, stalls and misericords date from 1626. There are also original wall paintings[2] which were restored in the 1960s. Also notable are box pews, stained glass and a monument to Banastre.
