context_page_description: Hardingstone is a village in Northamptonshire, England. It is on the southern edge of Northampton, and now forms a suburb of the town within the Northampton Borough Council area. It is about 1 mile from the town centre. The Newport Pagnell road separates the village from the nearby village of Wootton, which has also been absorbed into the urban area.
context_section_description: The parish church of St Edmund dates back to the 12th century and is mentioned in documents from 1107.  Nikolaus Pevsner considered that the body of the church had been over-restored.
  Many members of the Bouverie family (owners of nearby Delapré Abbey) are buried in the vault. The family used this as their family church because the Abbey, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, lacked its own chapel.
  During the Second World War the stained glass windows were removed for safety but afterwards could not be found. Some people believe that they might be in the Bouverie family vault, but this is bricked up and the mystery remains.
