Holy Trinity
Hagworthingham, Lincolnshire
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.
The delightful small greenstone church which we see today was almost completely rebuilt in 1855. Revd Robert Wentworth Cracroft subsidised the monies raised by the parish and he commissioned the architect SS Teulon to replace the former place of worship at a cost of £1000.
Inside are numerous monuments to successive Lords of the Manor. And worthy of a mention is the bowl of the octagonal 15th century font which has interesting coats of arms and strange supporting figures.
Although much restored, the original tower arch remains to support three bells, which were restored to full ringing order for the millennium, as well as a tingtang (a small calling bell) which is dated 1814.
