Whilton is a rather odd looking church! Working from the left there's the tower, the nave and the chancel. The chancel ridge line is higher and has a steeper roof line than the nave, the chancel is tiled, while the nave is a verdigris copper. The church is of an iron stone, while the tower is rougher and a paler stone. Looks like someones taken 3 entirely disparate parts and stuck them together! The churchyard is mown neatly and the sky has puffy clouds in front of a blue sky.

Recent Ringing
The band at Whilton rang a quarter peal in memory of Janet Bowers, a long time ringer and resident of Whilton. She was instrumental in the augmentation of the bells in 1994.

Rushden Spire stands out well against the sky in this photo. Taken from the East end of the church, there's a chancel and side chapels, although the end wall is somewhat hidden by bushes and a tree. We can see parts of the large windows in the end wall. The body is the church is not visible form here, we can see the side aisle sticking out to the left and the west end tower sticking up over the roof line. There are louvres visible, and pinnacles with arched supports to the tall tower. This has 3 sets of lights and carved balls (for want of a better description) running up the ridges. The sky is blue with white puffy clouds. The churchyard is green, and there are a lot of bushes and trees about, including some flowers, but the roses are not yet out.
