Church Stowe is a village in Northamptonshire, and the largest settlement in the parish of Stowe IX Churches.
St Michael's Church, the parish church, has an Anglo-Saxon tower. The rest of the church was built in 1639 but includes remains of the mediæval church. The east end was rebuilt in 1860[1] The church contains the tomb of Elizabeth Danvers, an Elizabethan noblewoman whose family's feuds, tragedies and politics bismirtched several reigns.[2]
