Horsington, All Saints

Horsington, All Saints (photo supplied by church)

 

It’s the first time All Saints’ Church will be open for the Wolds and Coast Churches Festival. The church almost closed several years ago, but it’s back in use – and doing better than ever!

Built around 1860, All Saints’ Church stands out with its red brick design and golden cockerel, visible for many miles around.

There are many great tales from the parish over the centuries, with some historical artefacts also held in the church. Thanks to the Horsington History Group, there will be displays and more to tell some of these fascinating stories.

We are dog friendly too.

Opening Times: 13-14th September

Saturday 10am-4pm
Sunday 10am-4pm

Sausthorpe, St Andrew



Sausthorpe, St Andrew*

Grade II parish church designed by Charles Kirk and built in the early/mid 19th century on the site of an earlier medieval church. Its construction was sponsored by Rev Francis Swan, Lord of the Manor and parish priest from 1821 until 1878. The church spire is a landmark on the road to the coast. There are two Morris & Co stained glass windows in the south chancel. T Pelham Dale, a clergyman imprisoned for ritualistic practices in 1880, was appointed to the living of Sausthorpe after his release and was buried in the churchyard after his death in 1892. 
Hot drinks will be available at the Church Institute between 11am and 1pm. (Directions given in church).

Raithby, Holy Trinity

Raithby, Holy Trinity*

There was a church here in the Domesday Book. The current church was restored in the 1800s by, amongst others, Sir George Gilbert Scott. Medieval traces remain. From a drawing, dated 1792, we know that the exterior renovation was very sympathetic to its medieval roots. We have numerous stained windows, in fact only one in the nave is not. There is a window by Kempe. The beautiful chancel ceiling is by Temple Moore (on display we have a photo of the chancel, taken by/for Temple Moore). We have 2 species of bat roosting in the church, outside we have a very mature oak and numerous wildflowers.

Hundleby, St Mary

Hundleby, St Mary*

A small friendly church. This is the third church on this site. The first was listed in the Domesday Book. This was replaced in the 15th century. It was rebuilt in the 1850s, after falling into disrepair, using some of the original Spilsby sandstone. This is very soft and much loved by masonry bees! Come and see the stained glass windows and single manual organ. Harvest flowers and local history displays.

Halton Holegate, St Andrew


A warm welcome awaits you as you visit the Historic Church of St Andrew, not only to view the wonderful 14th century building and the amazing views out over the surrounding countryside, but we also continue to display the many interpretive displays, guide booklets, children’s guides, and so much more, which have been produced as part of our recent National Lottery Heritage Funded project. One example being the ‘names’ on the Halton Holegate War Memorial tablet that have been researched. The lives and families of these men, who gave the ultimate sacrifice, are now recorded on display boards in church.

Hagworthingham, Holy Trinity

Hagworthingham, Holy Trinity


Exhibitions of the history of church and village. Most of the church has stained glass windows donated by the Cheales family. Brass, silver and other furniture donated by the family is also well worth seeing as well as 15th century font. The tower fell down in 1972, the base still remains. There are gravestones peculiar to the Wolds area. Creation of a community space. The church is full of beauty and wonder.

Great Steeping, All Saints

Great Steeping, All Saints*

A Village with two Chuches, one down Old Church Lane and the present Parish Church built of red brick next to the Village School. This is the Church built to replace the old and distant building. New and accessible but many people feel it did not quite hit the spot. Come along and visit both and see what you do think?  All Saints, however, holds the memorials to those who served at RAF Spilsby in WWII. Over the festival weekend there will be a focus on the change War brought and how we remember not only those who were in military service but the changes locally and in our own lives.

Firsby, St Andrew

Firsby, St Andrew*

Unlike many of the local church buildings, St Andrew’s is not built of Spilsby Green Sand Stone but a local honey-coloured Lime Stone. Mainly because the Medieval sandstone was “crumbling”, as reported in 1834, the Church was rebuilt in the mid-1800s (the architect was George Edward Street) and restored fully by 1886. The rounded east wall is unusual and gives a taste of early Christian worship, as the Altar nestles into the curved shape. Above, the fine stain glass window teaches the faith when viewed with the light flooding through from inside by day and outside by night. Interesting fetchers and monuments.

Bag Enderby, St Margaret

Bag Enderby, St Margaret*

St Margaret's is Perpendicular in style; built by Albinus de Enderby who died in 1407. It contains an original rood screen, original oak door with Viking shield-boss nailed to it that was found in a field nearby, and an interesting font mentioned by Pevsner. There is also some medieval stained glass, some predating the church and considered rare, showing the coat of arms of Crowland Abbey. Alfred Lord Tennysons father was
rector here from 1806 until his death in 1831.
There will be light refreshments and homemade cakes and teas served from 11am to 4pm on both days opposite the church in the garden of the Jacobean Bag Enderby Hall.
