Description: | A disused mortuary chapel and the remains of an old church are located at TF 1357 7765. The only remains of the old church are the chancel which was built of brick in Flemish bond and has an early English chancel arch. The church was a Georgian building, apart from the chancel arch. {1}
The scheduling of the moated manorial complex (PRN 43631) has been extended to include the site of the associated medieval church and churchyard which lie immediately to the south-east. The churchyard is subrectangular in plan, measuring 60m by 55m, and is enclosed by shallow ditches to the north, east and south. At the centre of the enclosure are the buried remains of the former Church of All Saints. The church measured 25m in length and 8.8m wide. Elements of the nave, aisle, arcade, and chancel dated from the 12th and 13th centuries, with a tower dating from the 15th century and a 16th century south porch. Alterations were made during the 18th century when the chancel was rebuilt. The church was dismantled in 1836 when a new church was established closer to the modern village centre. The 18th century brick-built chancel was retained, as a cemetery chapel, until the 1980s, when it too was demolished. {4} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1100 - 1836 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
