The Church is Norman, built on land donated to the monks of Louth Priory in 1140. Cromwell commandeered the church to billet his troops during the Civil War. It fell into dilapidation and was patched up in 1784 being fully restored three years later. In 1870 the chancel and vestry were added in the Norman style. The Duke of Rutland funded the re-roofing and major restoration of the interior in 1906 including the removal of the minstrel’s gallery above the Lady Chapel. In 1920 a spate of generous gifts funded the addition of the organ gallery and the rood and vestry screens and chancel stalls. In the 1930’s the Barlow family restored the Lady Chapel. Other gifts paid for the Lych gate to be built, a new pulpit, new oak pews and oak wall screen to the rear of the altar. The churchyard was extended in the 1980’s and land for further extension was purchased by the PCC in 2006.
