St Mary’s is a large town centre church with a well-documented history, historical scythes possibly from the Lincolnshire Rising, Civil War History, connections with the local Dymoke Family who serve as the King’s Champion. There are beautiful stained glass windows, carved angels and 100 embroidered kneelers. There is a thriving bookstall and light refreshments will be available. On Saturday, there is a town market and local shops open.
Parking is available at local supermarkets and The Wong.
