Find a church

In the 1930s Arthur Mee realised that there were very few communities that had not suffered military fatalities in the First World War. He coined the term ‘Thankful villages’ to describe them and Minting is one such village.

The treasures inside include two notable medieval monuments to past rectors, the most prominent is of William de Harrington, who died around 1350, dressed in cassock and hood with a skull cap, his feet are supported on a bracket decorated with a green man and his head on a pillow supported on two angels.

The Grade II* listed Fairhaven United Reformed Church (The White Church) is probably the most unusual and iconic church in the Fylde yet many people tell us that they know hardly anything about the church or that they pass by regularly but haven’t ever been inside.

Delve a little into the history behind this small village in Lincolnshire and you will soon find its hugely important link to America.

A warm welcome awaits you.

The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. A church of some kind has stood here on this site for over 1,000 years.

Built in 1908, features stunning Accrington brick in stretcher bond, sandstone dressings, and a graduated Cumbrian slate roof with red ridge tiles, all in the elegant Arts & Crafts Perpendicular style.

Georgian and was built out of limestone in 1754, the church is widely regarded as one of the smallest complete churches in England with a nave just 21ft long, the tiny apsidal chancel gives some idea of the scale.

The church was built as a mission church for the small community of New Leake, but has now replaced the churches of Midville and Eastville and serves those villages as well.

Fantastic carved figures from Tudor times.
