52°26′16″N 0°41′04″W / 52.437893°N 0.684494°W / 52.437893; -0.684494 St Mary Magdalene is a Church of England church in Geddington, Northamptonshire, England. It is a grade I listed building.[1] In 2017 it was wrongly thought to be the Shrine of Hagius until the belief was found to be based on an error in transcription.[2][3]

The east windows were created by Sir Ninian Comper. He also designed windows for Westminster Abbey and the entirety of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Wellingborough, amongst many others. The central East window was created in the early part of his illustrious career while the South East window is much later, and there are vast changes in style in the intervening 50 years.
