The village near Weedon is officially Stowe Nine Churches. The usual explanation of the name is that the lord of the manor held the right to appoint the rectors of nine churches, but there is a folk explanation too.
Thomas Sternberg gave it in 1851 while writing about the Bogie, the household and farmstead goblin of Northamptonshire. In days of old, the villagers said, the lord wanted to build a church in his home place, then called simply Stowe. A hill was chosen, skilled workmen were hired and the foundation was laid. The next morning the work could not be seen. The trenches, stones and tools had all vanished, and after a long search they were found some distance away on the spot where the present church stands.
The lord was stubborn. Nine times he began again and nine times it was undone overnight by a spirit that carried off in the dark what the workmen had built by day. A man was eventually persuaded to keep watch. After the ninth attempt the lord gave up and the church was built on the spot that had been so miraculously selected. Sternberg attributes the night work to a Bogie, a goblin of the household type, and not to fairies, and says the village name is said to come from the tale.
Moved building materials are a very widely told church legend in England, so this is a local version of a common story. The Wikipedia article on the parish repeats it in short form. It is a folk etymology, not a haunting.
