Come and celebrate what we have done! Enjoy coffee and cake in our new seating area. The church tower has been enhanced to contain a servery and a new disabled access WC has been added sympathetically to the church.

But the beauty of the 14th century restored church remains set in an oasis of peace. The font is decorated with instruments of The Passion, the pulpit is metal in the Arts & Crafts style, made by Christopher Turner. Fragments of early glass and a 20th century window by Edward Payne.

A 16.5 mile walking trail from the birthplace of Archbishop Stephen Langton, key in the sealing of Magna Carta, to the historic city of Lincoln.

The Stephen Langton Trail starts at the Lincolnshire village of Langton-by-Wragby, birthplace of Archbishop Stephen Langton, and takes a meandering and picturesque 16.5 mile walk to historic Lincoln and Lincoln Castle, home to an original copy of the 1215 Magna Carta.

The trail is split into three sections to allow for all abilities and so the walk can be split up over a space of time:

Section One leads from Langton-by-Wragby to Apley through the Lincolnshire Limewood Nature Reserve (4 miles)
Section Two from Thistle Storr Wood near Apley to Fiskerton along the Viking Way (6¼ miles)
Section Three follows the River Witham Valley from Fiskerton on a delightful riverside walk to Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter (6¼ miles).
