Dating from 1200, although, after the nave collapsed in 1893, heavily restored by Hodgson Fowler, a local Victorian architect. Walls are of sandstone; pews and altar are Victorian. 15th century octagonal font is of particular interest, having cusped panels containing shields and a pedestal with traceried panels and figures. Pulpit features original hour glass in its stand. To the east of the doorway is a pointed piscina believed to be 12th century. Various marks on the walls are attributed to sword sharpening and musket fire dating from the Battle of Winceby; the site of the battlefield is close by. West window features a stained-glass tribute to 2nd Lieutenant John Kenneth Brice Smith, who died on September 11th 1915 of wounds received at the Bluff.
