St Mary’s church can safely be dated from 1066, although the tower
is possibly earlier, giving evidence that there has been a centre of
Christian worship in Broughton for over 900 years at least. There are
many interesting features in St Mary’s including architecture from
various periods in its history, Lindsey type grave slabs, and monuments
to the Redford and Anderson families.
ADDITIONAL TO THE BROCHURE:
As part of the festival the lady who plays the organ will be coming into the church on both Saturday and Sunday to play. Ann Sparks who painted the picture featured on the front cover of the 2026 churches festival brochure has arranged for her and some of her friends to put on an Art Exhibition over the weekend.
