Titchmarsh is a village and civil parish in East Northamptonshire, England. The 2001 census recorded a parish population of 543 people, increasing to 598 at the 2011 Census.HistoryTitchmarsh "castle" was in fact a fortified manor house with a moat. Sir John Lovel received a licence to crenellate it in 1304 but it was in ruins by 1363.The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary may originally have been 12th century, as a Norman doorway of that date survives in the chancel. The doorway is not in its original position but has been re-set. The north aisle and arcade are 13th century. The ornate Perpendicular Gothic bell-tower is notable. Dr. F.J. Allen, who was an authority on the notable late medieval Somerset towers, described St. Mary's tower as "the finest parish church tower in England outside Somerset". Many of St. Mary's church windows are also Perpendicular Gothic; with three, four of five lights.
