A grand 'wool' church (Listed Grade 1) with a magnificent 15th century tower and a friendly congregation using modern English services and a variety of music.  There was a big pottery industry here for several centuries, exporting Grimstonware all over Europe, so maybe St.Botolph's is a pottery church as much as a wool church.  
We've stopped using hymnbooks for the Sunday service, as all the words come up on the screen, with pictures to aid worship. For those who can't read from the screen, everything is also printed. Large print hymns etc need to be ordered in advance but we're very happy to produce them (01485-600335). It could be a good idea to check on the children's provision, as people do have holidays!
Registers are extant from 1552 are available for inspection. Email William.Howard@dunelm.org.uk to discuss an appointment or a query. We can also offer jpg files of register pages for a small fee.

The Parish magazine can be downloaded from www.grimston.org

Many in the congregation followed the E100 course in the first part of 2011
