All Saints owes a great deal to the restoration by Lord Carbery (d.1894). From the exterior it appears to be a 19thc. church, apart from the late 13thc. W tower and broach spire. Inside, the nave has a three-bay 13thc. S arcade and a 19thc. N arcade. The clerestorey consists of a single central dormer window on each side; clearly an idea of Lord Carbery's. The chancel is 19thc. The S nave doorway, under a porch, is also 19thc. work, but contains reused 12thc. material and is described below. There is no N doorway.

In 1086 Laxton was held by one William. There were only 11/2 hides, and no church or priest was recorded.

Benefice of Bulwick and Blatherwycke with Harringworth and Laxton.

The form of the capitals, their tall blocks carved with stylised volutes and randomly-applied decorative motifs, suggests a date around 1100 for this work. Nothing very close survives nearby, although similarly attenuated volute capitals are found at Blatherwycke.
