Markby, St Peter

Markby, St Peter*

The only thatched church in Lincolnshire, built in 1611. It fell into disrepair in late 19C and a corrugated tin church was erected next to it for services and the thatched for special occasions. In 1962, the tin church was failing and it was decided to renovate the original church.
Today, the interior of the church still bears traces of its history – Norman dog-toothed decoration on the chancel arch, former oak cross beam rescued from the roof bearing a date of 1611, the ancient font from the old parish church, 13th Century rose sculpture and the 19 th Century box pews.
