St John the Baptist, Great Carlton

St John the Baptist Church, Great Carlton lies within Great Carlton village, screened behind trees with a long drive, described in "The King's England" of 1949: "... as having an approach unsurpassed in all Lincolnshire," leading to the car park.

It serves the villages of Great and Little Carlton as a Community Church, holding two services per month, one Holy Communion and the other a locally led Morning Prayer Service. There are afternoon village services on the main festivals and special services and events throughout the year.
