Scawby - St Hybald

David Wright, St Hybald Church, Scawby, CC BY-SA 2.0

St Hybald, a little known Saxon saint of the 7th century was probably the Abbot of Hibaldstow. Only three other local churches are dedicated to him: those in Ashby de la Launde, near Sleaford; Manton (although this is now a private dwelling) and our neighbouring village of Hibaldstow where he is believed to have been buried.

The earliest recorded church in Scawby now only survives in the lower part of the 14th century tower.
After a ‘fire’ in 1839 the rest of the church was rebuilt and extended.

St Hybald’s contains many funereal monuments to the Nelthorpe family, who lived in the adjacent Scawby Hall.

Hibaldstow - St Hybald

David Wright, St Hybald, Hibaldstow, CC BY-SA 2.0

We are one of only 3 churches in the country dedicated to St Hybald - the other two being our sister church in Scawby and Ashby-de-la-Launde. And we have the particular honour of having the bones of St Hybald himself buried under our chancel.

The village name Hibaldstow means ‘burial-place of St Hybald’ and dates back to at least 664 AD. It is thought the St Hybald, possibly a pupil of St Chad, set up a mission station or monastery in what became Hibaldstow, and was eventually buried there.

Despite the long history of Christian worship, the present church dates from 1866 (chancel) and 1875 (nave), and the tower was rebuilt in the 1960s.

St Hybald’s occasionally plays host to pilgrimages to see the relics of St Hybald.

Broughton - St Mary

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.
