Church information and history

Situated between Coningsby and Roughton, this village church sits proudly on a site that has been occupied by churches for about a thousand years. The present one dates from approximately 1802. When it was rebuilt, a quantity of the original stone was used and where there was not sufficient, brick was used.

The old box pews were replaced with the open seating pitch pine ones in the mid to late 1800’s at, the same time a gallery at the west end was removed. The church was reopened in 1902 by Bishop Wordsworth.

In 1926 it was decided to buy a War Memorial window and put it in the central light in the East end. However the amount contributed exceed all expectations and there was sufficient money to put a single light on either side, The glass is by William Morris and the central light depicts “The Resurrection” whilst the two smaller windows have figures representing “Valour” and “Fortitude”.

Around 1933 there were further alterations at the West end of the Church. The last three pews on either side were removed, those on the North side to make room for a Vestry and those on the South for a Children’s corner. The Vestry was thought to be necessary as a robed choir had started. At the same time the same time the Font in the middle of the Children’s corner was brought from Kirkstead.
