St Medardus, Little Bytham
The Church of St Medardus and St Gildardus in Little Bytham, Lincolnshire, is a Grade I listed building famous for its unique dedication; it is the only Church in the United Kingdom named after these two 6th-century French saints. The Church contains surviving Anglo-Saxon "long-and-short" stonework at the corners of the nave, dating back to approximately 1000 AD. On the south wall of the chancel is a highly ornate 12th-century Norman doorway. Its tympanum features a unique circular niche, which historians believe may have once housed a relic of St Medard. The building showcases a mix of styles, including a 13th-century west tower and spire, and a late 13th-century chancel arch. The pulpit features a stone base dated 1590 with the Latin inscription "Orate et parate" ("Pray and prepare"). A finely sculpted Green Man carving was rediscovered hidden inside a wall during later restoration work. A "coarse" example of an Easter Sepulchre or tomb recess is located in the north wall of the chancel.

St James, Castle Bytham
The Church of St James in Castle Bytham is a Grade I listed Parish Church steeped in history, with origins dating back to at least the late 12th century. Located just up from the Castle Inn on High Street / Church Lane, it is a prominent feature of the village's historical landscape. The Church has a rare north entrance, historically referred to as the "devil's door". Inside, you'll find an ancient belfry ladder made from an old Maypole, inscribed with "THIS WARE THE MAYPOUL 1660" to commemorate the restoration of Charles II. While it likely stands on a Saxon-style foundation from 1115, the current structure reflects late Norman (c. 1145–1190) and Early English Gothic styles, with a 15th-century Perpendicular tower top. An 18th-century sundial on the south side features a clever pun on the village's name. Three stones in the porch are believed to be parts of St Cuthbert’s Cross, dating between 850 and 1150 AD.
