Circular churchyard at St Peter's Church, Brackley

It is believed that the site at St Peter's in Brackley has been used for worship since the seventh century.
Although few records exist before the 15th century, ancient churchyards were typically circular, as was St Peter's.
The churchyard was extended during the time that Francis Thicknesse was vicar (1868-1879).
He also built the mock Tudor vicarage, which later became Egerton House School. This has now been demolished to make way for homes at the north-west end of the churchyard.
Thicknesse had plans to knock down the church and build a new one in the town centre, but these never materialised.
