A Grade 1 listed 13th century church with a magnificent spire. Dedicated to St Swithun, a statue of the saint in his Episcopal robes can be seen over the north porch entrance. In 1841 Augustus Welby Pugin hand-painted the chancel ceiling in a wonderful 14th century style and this is thought to be the only example of his work in a parish church. The grant was to help replace lead roof, repair gutters and fit a new alarm system to cover all roof areas.

Brant Broughton, Lincolnshire

Generally agreed to be one of the finest churches in Lincolnshire, St Helen's was already in the front rank before the Victorian architect GF Bodley added a sumptuous chancel, with painted vault and lavishly gilded reredos, in his late 19th century restoration.
