Upper Stowe is a village in West Northamptonshire in England. It is in the civil parish of Stowe Nine Churches. It has a church dedicated to St James. This was built to the design of P.C Hardwick in 1855. It has a bellcote rather than a tower.[1]

The name 'Stowe' derives from Old English word for 'place'.[2]
