St Peter & St Paul's Church is an Anglican Church and the parish church of Watford, Northamptonshire. It is a Grade I listed building and stands on the west side of the Church Street.
There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for Watford in the Domesday Book.[1]
The main structure of the present building was erected in the 14th and 15th centuries, with further work in the 18th and 19th centuries. The church now consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel with north chapel, north and south porches and a west tower. A detailed description appears on the Historic England website.[2]
The parish registers survive from 1565, the historic registers being deposited at Northamptonshire Record Office.[3]
Watford is part of a united Benefice along with Long Buckby, West Haddon and Winwick. Each parish retains its own church building.[4]
