Medieval graffiti, unique medieval poppy heads, a medieval bell, all in a small village church which is well worth a visit.

It is believed that Holy Trinity is one of the 'four voices of four hamlets round... the merry, merry bells of Yule' found within the poem 'In Memorium AHH' by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Holy Trinity has Saxon origins but the current building was built in the 11th and 12th centuries. In 1859 the church was extensively altered by Victorian architect James Fowler.

In 1334 John de Harrington founded a chantry in this place, whereby the chaplain and his assistant were enabled to support themselves and pray daily for the souls of their founder and his family.

St Peter & St Paul is first mentioned in the Domesday Book and is primarily 14th century, restored by James Fowler in 1866 and 1889.

The church is set at the far end of the village and from here you get wonderful views over the Welland valley.

Reference to St Martin’s church occurs in the Matriculus of 1220 when Hugh de Grantmesnil a powerful baron who owned much land in Leicestershire, gave it to the Abbot of Ware, who was Proctor of the monks of St. Evroult in Normandy, France.

A place of worship has stood on the site for 900 years although the present building, built of local greenstone, is mainly 14th century.

All Saints is a beautiful, much loved parish church with a medieval churchyard cross stump.

Early Perpendicular, Grade II listed church and birthplace of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the Victorian poet whose father George Clayton Tennyson was rector from 1806 until his death in 1831.

A great feature of the church is the splendid barrel organ, the only one in working order still to be found in a Lincolnshire church.

The church is a good example of the work of George Edmund Street, the famous 19th century architect.
