The greenstone parish church is dedicated to Saint Wilfrid and is a Grade II listed building dating from the 15th century and restored in 1890 by Ewan Christian. The organ within the church is one of the oldest organs in Britain. It originally was situated in the Choristers’ Practice Room of Magdalen College, Oxford in 1740. The village is mentioned in the 1086 Doomsday Book, with 19 households and Robert the Bursar as Lord of the Manor.

COVID-19 STATEMENT

We are holding off cancelling the 2020 event in the hope that restrictions of movement may be lifted in the coming months. When September comes we are sure we will all welcome the chance to be outdoors and visiting our churches that are currently out of bounds. The festival may be smaller, but let's hope we will be able to do something. We will keep everyone informed as to decisions made. In the meantime we hope you all keep safe and well.

Best wishes from all the churches of the Lincolnshire Wolds and Coast Festival.
