Last year I visited to Rushton Triangular Lodge. I was back in the village again today.This is Glendon and Rushton station on the Midland mainline between Market Harborough and Kettering. It closed a few weeks before I was born.
Wikipedia says the station opened in 1857 as Rushton - unsurprisingly, as it is right in the village. It was renamed in 1896 to avoid confusion with the larger Rushden, which is also in in Northamptonshire.

Nice windows in an early Norman style? Reminds me a little of the Durham Cathedral. Local limestone too perhaps? In fact is is the same architect as the Wellingborough station - oh I think it might be:
