Our beautiful church has parts dating back to the 11th century, and unique 17th century ‘Ringers Rhymes’. Bell ringers will give short demonstration and you can try your hand at bell ringing with the Lincoln Guild ringing simulator or, (suitable for 10 years upwards) a real bell. The able bodied can climb the tower to view the bells and our 1848 James Harrison clock in its original case with notation and graffiti (small fee). Our popular plant sale on Saturday.

The glory of St Edith’s is its medieval woodwork. Magnificent rood screen with its loft and oak boarded tympanum dominates the church. It is the only surviving example in Lincolnshire. Please come and see our wonderful church mice.

Almost every century has made a distinctive contribution to the structure, a testimony to the many people whose spiritual home it has been. Amazingly it escaped the ravages of the Reformation and rebellion, aided, no doubt by the moated situation. 




The Church is an architectural gem, an oasis of peace and serenity located in the midst of a busy, working farm. 

It is a living place of worship with regular services.

The Ostrich OR Spital Inn, Lincolnshire, gets Blue Heritage Plaque


The important former coaching inn, The Ostrich or Spital Inn, had a new blue plaque unveiled by Dr David Marcombe on Saturday September 17th, 2017. The Ostrich, a long-forgotten part of the heritage of North Lincolnshire, has finally been recognised. The plaque records how William Cobbett, political writer, stayed there in April 1830 and wrote part of his celebrated Rural Rides. The plaque was sponsored by Mr Jim Foster of Rugby, who stayed in the building in the 1940s and 1950s. 

For safety reasons as the inn is next to the a busy road, the unveiling of a replica plaque took place in St Edmund's Chapel, situated opposite the inn, with the actual plaque already present on the side of the building.
