Description: | A stone building in the style of the fourteenth century was partly rebuilt in 1818 at a cost of nearly 2,000. The church was restored in 1890 at a cost of 500 and in 1894 a new vestry was erected at a cost of 150. The Rev. Henry Vincent Bayley D.D. sub-dean of Lincoln and archdeacon of Stow was rector here from 1811. He decorated the church with many items from neighboring churches in his archdeaconry. The stained glass in the east window is made up of glass from Kettlethorpe, Scotton, Malvern, Snarford and Manchester cathedral, as well as a small proportion originally from Messingham. The prayer desks were also brought from Althorpe church. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Messingham Places Buildings_and_Structures Churches_and_Chapels | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
