Early English style largely dating from 13th century with 14th and 16th century aisles, the 14th century tower houses a ring of six bells dating from 1710 to 2002, which are rung regularly.

Laughton Methodist Church

Laughton Methodist Chapel

Dating from 1826, the chapel was used as a Sunday School until 1969. The second chapel adjacent to the first dates from 1927. A new Sunday School was added in 1975.

The Primitive Methodist magazine of 1859 records an account by A Worsnop of the re-opening of the chapel after enlargement. This was necessary because of a revival in the winter of 1857-8 and consent was obtained from WM Ingram Esq.

On the north wall inside Laughton Methodist church is a white stone tablet with incised gold lettering commemorating a single World War 2 casualty.

Swallow - Holy Trinity

John Firth, Holy Trinity Church Swallow, CC BY-SA 2.0

Holy Trinity church was started in the Norman period, but after numerous extensions and improvements over the next five centuries went into something of a decline until it was restored by the Victorians, by which time the village also had two Methodist Chapels (both now demolished. The font and the base of the tower are of the earliest period, while piscina is somewhat later, but most of what you can see belongs to the nineteenth century restoration including some rather nice stained glass in the west and south windows and a couple of memorial plaques. The War Memorial is in the churchyard and commemorates three villagers who lost their lives during WWI.

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.
