Boughton Green - St John the Baptist Church Ruin

When I first arrived at Boughton, Northants I wandered around the village taking a leisurely walk trying to locate the ruins of the St John the Baptist church that I had been reading about and as you will see from a couple of the snapshots below, at first I couldn't find it and just aimlessly wandered around the village.

I did manage to spot something in the distance that might have been part of a ruin, but instead I ended up in a pocket park with a bench that was in honour of the late Alice Cooper...

After finally asking a local for some help, they explained that the St John the Baptist church isn't actually in the village of Boughton, but is actually 1/2 a mile up the road where the village of Boughton used to be many years ago.

Hidden away on the outskirts of the current village of Boughton, is one of the most allegedly supernatural places you will come across in Northamptonshire.

For many, many years it has always been considered very dangerous to go near or even pass the now derelict churchyard of the St John the Baptist church, particularly late at night...
