From the Wikipedia article

Strixton is a small village in eastern Northamptonshire that borders the main A509 road between Wellingborough and Milton Keynes. The population of the village remained less than 100 at the 2011 Census and is included in the civil Parish of Wollaston. The village's name means 'Strikr's farm/settlement'. This name might be indistinguishable from the 'Stric' recorded in the Domesday Book as holding land in the adjoining Bozeat and Wollaston parishes during the reign of Edward the Confessor. The village borders Grendon and Wollaston. The limited amenities include: The Church (St Rumwolds). A business centre - utilising converted farm buildings.

The church also owns a Jacobean chalice…
