A Look Back: The Church's History

The church was built in 1903. It was designed by an architect named C. Hodgson Fowler. The style of the building is called "Early Decorated," which is a type of Gothic architecture popular a long time ago.

Inside, you can see beautiful decorations, a special screen called a rood screen, and stained glass windows. These were added in the early 1900s by an artist named Ninian Comper.

A very interesting fact about the church is that it has an altar slab. This slab came from Bardney Abbey, which was a large monastery many years ago.

Many people believe it is one of the best organs in all of Lincolnshire. You can find detailed information about this organ on the National Pipe Organ Register.
