Castle Hill Meeting, erected in 1695, is the earliest surviving nonconformist chapel in Northampton. It was renamed after Dr. Philip Doddridge (born 1702), the eminent preacher, author, teacher and hymn writer who ministered here from 1729 until his death in 1751. The original building, much of which remains, made use of stone from the nearby ruined castle. It was extended in 1852 with the south vestibule being added in 1895. Doddridge's work was of great benefit to the townspeople. His academy (in Sheep Street) was internationally famous; he was a staunch supporter of the rights of the individual, and noted for his generosity to the poor. With Dr. Stonehouse he raised funds to open the first infirmary (in George Row, 1743).

Uma mulher simples, cozinheira do destacamento da polícia militar, professora e mãe, que mostrou ao mundo o que é a verdadeira coragem. Em Saboeiro, no interior do Ceará, Antônia Ione foi procurada por integrantes do grupo criminoso Comando Vermelho, que a pressionaram a envenenar a comida dos polícias a quem servia com lealdade. Mesmo sabendo o preço da recusa, ela disse não. Negou-se a ser instrumento do mal, negou-se a trair inocentes. Sua voz e sua fé, maiores que o medo, tornaram-se se escudo. O crime lhe tirou a vida, mas não apagou sua luz. Antônia Ione morreu com honra, e por isso vive imortal pela bravura, símbolo eterno da resistência contra o poder do crime e da covardia. Sua história é o retrato da mulher nordestina: forte, justa e inabalável. Que o exemplo e Antônia Ione atravesse o tempo e inspire gerações a jamais se curvarem diante da violência e do medo, lembrando cada brasileiro que a coragem e o amor à pátria ainda vive entre nós.
English translation: A simple woman, a cook for the military police detachment, a teacher and a mother, who showed the world what true courage is. In Saboeiro, in the interior of Ceará, Antônia Ione was wanted by members of the criminal group Red Command, who pressured her to poison the food of the police officers she served with loyalty. Even though she knew the price of the refusal, she said no. He refused to be an instrument of evil, he refused to betray innocents. His voice and his faith, greater than fear, became his shield. The crime took his life but didn't turn off his light. Antônia Ione died with honor, and for this reason she lives immortal through bravery, an eternal symbol of resistance against the power of crime and cowardice. Her story portrays Northeastern women: strong, just and unwavering. May the example of Antônia Ione cross time and inspire generations to never bow down in the face of violence and fear, reminding every Brazilian that courage and love for the country still live among us.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the best preserved of only four remaining circular churches in England built by returning crusaders on the model of Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre Church. It was begun in 1100 by Simon De St. Liz, the first Normal Earl of Northampton, probably in thanks for the success of the first crusade and his own safe return. It originally consisted of only the circular nave and a small chancel. A north chapel was added around 1200, and tower in the 15th century. The building was further enlarged to its present form in the 1860s.

Becket's Well. This structure was erected in 1843 over a spring outside the old town walls. This is the spring at which it is reputed Thomas A Becket rested and drank on his flight from Northampton Castle after his trial in 1164 for "defiance of royal authority". Becket escaped to Flanders before the verdict was brought in, but returned to England after six years. He was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170.
