St Mary’s dates back to the 11th century and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It was extended in the 14th century with a tower with three bells that were made locally in Grasby. Outside on the south wall is a stone carving of a cat above one of the windows. The church is no longer used for worship and now looked after by The Churches Conservation Trust. It is on the edge of the village within the church graveyard. Exhibition of its history during the weekend.

The church was built in 1926/27 to replace the existing wooden church and be more central than the 11th century St Mary’s which is sited on the edge of the village. It was unfinished as money ran out! Beautiful coloured ceiling painted in railway colours. Refreshments served over the weekend. Exhibition on “History of Barnetby” during the weekend.

Searby cum Owmby - St Nicholas

Situated in a picturesque setting on a mound within the village of Searby, St Nicholas’ was built in 1832 on the foundations of the original Saxon church which was damaged by fire. The interior is notable for the woodcarving of the Reverend Townsend, vicar from 1845 to 1889. His work included the pews with carvings on their ends depicting the tribes of Israel and the Apostles. The organ was built by F. Cousans of Lincoln and first played on Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887. The church bells are rung using an Ellacombe Apparatus a device developed in 1821 by Reverend Henry Thomas Ellacombe enabling one person to ring all five bells.

Memorial to Charles and his wife Louisa. The east window is particularly attractive. An embroidery exhibition by local embroiderers and other attractions.
