Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Two churches, one churchyard. The nearer church is St Adelwold, which was the original parish church for the people of Alvingham. This is the only known dedication to this saint, who was a saxon Bishop of Lindisfarne. The church dates from the early C10th but most of the surviving fabric is later, being C13th [including the tower] and C14th or newer, including a C19th restoration.
The second church is St Mary's, which until the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII was the chapel of a small Gilbertine Priory founded in about 1150. It then became the parish church for North Cockerington, a village about a mile away across the river Lud, whose own church had become derelict. The tower is C19th, and the church was much restored at time. The interior has box pews and some old tomb fragments are on display.The church is now in the care of the Historic Churches Trust and the key is available nearby on request. The churches can also be found in a profile similar to this on the village signpost. |
