Thimbleby, St Margaret


Thimbleby St Margaret (church's own photo),


This Grade II listed church was rebuilt in 1879, with the addition of a tower, apiol chancel and an elevated roof. Unfortunately, certain materials were used which have resulted in considerable problems, the major one being the failure of the spire. The details of the reasons for the failure, the raising of funds, the rebuilding of the tower and the replacement of the spire are shown in a photographic exhibition. There is a beautiful stone reredos, commemorating the last supper, and three interesting memorial windows.
