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