Standing on a mound in the centre of the village our church is an unknown gem. The capitals of the sturdy pillars are decorated with scallops, all different. There are intriguing masons marks on one of them, a 1498 incised slab, a 1595 brass and a medieval altar stone. Exhibition of Northorpe memories.

With Saxon origins, the church was rebuilt as a traditional Norman church with a narrow nave and chancel with west tower. A north aisle was added during the Early English period when the Bishop of Lincoln gave it to the Gilbertine Priory of St Katherine without Lincoln. The influence of this connection can be seen in the quality of the aisle arcade capitals, two of which can be matched to a mason working on Lincoln Cathedral.

Morton • St Paul



Morton St Paul and its labyrinth

St Paul’s welcomes visitors to view its collection of ten windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, who worked on them with William Morris. The carpet in front of the altar is also of a William Morris design. Font of Frosterley marble surmounted by a fine canopy. The Augustus Gern organ was built in 1891 and the organ case is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. A warm welcome and delicious refreshments.

Built 1962, in a modern style, but internally fitted out with the furnishings taken from the fire damaged estate chapel at Walmesgate, Louth. The plain exterior does not do justice to the charming interior, with delicately patterned walls, with trailing vines on the roof beams and a sanctuary canopied with a blend of blue, silver and gold. An art exhibition will be held during the weekend.
