(3655) Grade I listed St Simon and St Jude's. As I was bagging the BM - NW angle N face of tower - a local chap arrived. A nice chat was then had; I told him about the benchmark. Looking at the online map, the next nearest one turned out to be on his friends house, so bagged that as well. And he gave me a potted history of Towcester where I was going to staying the night. It's pronounced 'Toaster', so now I should blend right in!
