Summary

[edit]
Description

Originally an 11th C. church with west tower from 11th and 12th C. 13th century font and inner south doorway, 14th century south aisle and south porch, 15th century seating and chancel plus new nave roof and clerestory, tower parapet and spire. 1864-1875 saw new north aisle, outer wall of porch removed and rebuilt, porch roof repaired, pipe heating installed, all floors and seating removed and redone and the gallery which had partially blocked the tower arch and accommodated the choir was removed. 1888 the church clock was installed. 1893 Chancel alterations and organ installed built by Henry Willis & Sons Ltd. 1895 Restoration of belfry and spire, spire taken down as unsafe – the stones were numbered and replaced in original position at cost of £324. 1912-13 New roof to south aisle and porch and extensive repairs to nave roof plus vital work to the tower at cost of £740. 1962 On Christmas day it is believed that a mouse chewed through an electricity cable which caused a devastating fire destroying the chancel and organ (fire believed to have originated in the organ), causing much smoke damage in the rest of the church which can still be seen on the arches and the cross which buckled in the fire is on display in the church. 1966 The church was rededicated with new chancel, new east end stained glass window and new organ built by Messrs Cousans (Lincoln) Ltd. The total cost was £44,000 (of which £35,000 was paid for through insurance).

2011 After numerous lead thefts from roof, a new roof is being installed at a cost of £35,000 made of terne coated steel with no resale value.
