Description: | PRN 61119
A church at Ewerby is recorded in Domesday Book (24,38). {1}
The present church is mostly thirteenth or fourteenth century (probably 1325), although there is evidence for an earlier church in the Norman font base. It was restored in 1895. {2}{3}
On the floor of the north aisle is a pre-Norman gravestone and under the tower is the bowl of a Norman font, upturned and used as the base for the Decorated font, and the base of a former churchyard cross. In the floor of the church is a Saxon stone with a broad cross carved down the centre. {3}
The Saxon stone is discussed in more detail in the 'Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture'. There is also a coped grave-cover with a 12th-13th century cross pattee design at the west end of the south aisle. {7}
A watching brief near the church revealed remains which may represent former churchyard boundaries (see 61120). {6}
The church is listed Grade I.
