The Chantry House, Towcester

The ideal venue for
meetings and social events in the heart of Towcester

The Building

The Chantry House lies in the heart of our town centre overlooking the market square: it is available to rent either by the room or as a complete building. The building is suitable for professional, work-related events or leisure and family occasions.

In 1982 the Chantry House was bequeathed to the then incumbent, Revd James Atwell, and the Churchwardens of St Lawrence Church Towcester by Mrs Alice Jenkinson. After a significant amount of fundraising and renovation work it was officially opened in 1987 as the parish office and rooms for use by the community.

Two rooms & garden space ideal for every occasion

“Our daughter had a great 9th birthday party here. Access was really easy and the Chantry House were very accommodating, giving us plenty of time to set up with decorations etc. The room is a really good size with plenty of space to set up food and refreshments at one end and use the rest of the space for your activities: we hired a magician and the children still had plenty of room for a bit of a dance too!“

Towcester U3A (who comprise of about 500 members with many varied interests) Wine & Food Group of 20 people have met in the Chantry almost since their beginnings in 2010 and report they have “always been well accommodated” with the Chantry Team being “very supportive of our needs and we are looking forward to working with them for many more” (years).
