Northamptonshire, England, the ancestral home of George Washington's great-grandfather, John, is a landlocked county sometimes referred to as the county of spires and squires, thanks to the number of ancient churches and stately homes within it. The village of Quinton is no exception, with its parish church dating back to Norman times. Beside the honey-colored stone church sits the Old Rectory, once a priest's house, with a spectacular, contemporary three-acre garden.
