St Peter
Thorpe St Peter, Lincolnshire
A lovely Lincolnshire church with a spectacular font, possibly one of the best examples of Early English work in the county.
Dating back to the 14th century our church has beautiful monuments inside, a plaque with the names and dates of the vicars of Croft that served there, a magnificent brass eagle and spectacular stained glass window. The bell tower has six bells inside and steps that lead to the roof with wonderful views over our village.
The tower and nave are battlemented. There are original pews and a fine Jacobean pulpit built. The canopy was given by Dr William Worship in 1615, in memory of his wife Agnes. A 15th century chancel screen with delightful carvings of birds and other creatures separates the nave from the chancel. Avery early brass half effigy of a knight is also situated in the church.
The churchyard holds the history of the people that lived there going back hundreds of years and a huge beech tree in the middle.
