Our Church is Grade II listed, re-designed and rebuilt between 1845 & 1849 by George Gilbert Scott in the late 13th Century style, with an 1871 Church Organ and a Stained Glass panel in the North Aisle by Charles Kempe completed in 1876.

Coates by Stow • St Edith

Photos: Ashley Taylor, Push Creativity

St. Edith’s is a charming and unique pre reformation church, probably of Saxon origin.

It has a very rare rood screen and loft not to be missed.

Whilst steeped in history and situated in a unique setting, it attracts visitors from all over the world throughout the year.

There is the site of the old Saxon Village only a short walk away and a medieval game can be played inside the church.

Do come and join us and see for yourself this incredible tranquil setting and church. Access is off the Stow to Ingham road and it will be signposted.

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.

Kirkby cum Osgodby - St Andrew

St Andrew by Ian S, CC BY-SA 2.0

There has been a church on the site since 1160. Water de Amundeville gave the church to Elsham Priory. The lower part of the tower is thought to date to the 13th Century along with the Chancel, though this has been substantially altered. Henry V111 encouraged churches to display the Royal Crest after the break with Rome. Ours dates from George 11 1727-1760. The organ was installed in 1899, replacing a harmonium. It is believed this came from a private house.

Pilham • All Saints

Pilham - Copyright Ashley Taylor, Push Creativity

Described by visitors as “quaint”, “charming”, “peaceful” and “small but perfect”. All Saints is one of the smallest churches in England and records show a vicar in place from 1269.

The tower may well be original but there have been major changes to the chancel since, a drawing of 1789 shows the door in the righthand wall.

There will be light refreshments available, a small display of vintage vehicles and church records for visitors to look through.
