Binbrook - St Mary & St Gabriel

Our church built in 1869 is architect James Fowler’s Victorian gothic masterpiece - The Cathedral of the Wolds. It is completely as he envisaged and his beautiful original plans and illustrations will be on display.

We will offer tours up the impressive spire and the bells can be rung from the Ellacombe system.

The long association with RAF Binbrook is evident in the church and Commonwealth War Graves are looked after in the extensive cemetery.

A church of Anglo-Saxon origins rebuilt in the 13th & 14th centuries and sympathetically restored in the 19th century. The spire was suggested by Capability Brown when he redesigned the park. Inside, there is a “nationally important” series of absolutely stunning monuments to the Heneage Family. From brass of 1435 to modern memorials of 1954, in varying styles all relating to a time span of one family. Light refreshments available throughout the day.

Tealby - All Saints

All Saints is a beautiful Grade 1 listed church in a picturesque location with wonderful views over the Wolds. It is now 200 years since Joshua Gibbons, a Tealby papermaker, was collecting tunes and writing them into a small pocket-sized manuscript book. He was a proficient f iddle player and played at local balls, feasts and other events. We have live and recorded folk music from this special notebook. We also have interesting displays about the church, manuscript, and local papermaking.

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.

Brookenby - St Michael & All Angels

Brookenby - St Michael & All Angels by Ian S

No bell tower, no cemetery, but ample car parking space, heating and toilets. Not the typical Lincolnshire church. Brookenby Church has its home in a former accommodation block of the former RAF Binbrook. This is also home of the Angels Tearoom and Thrift shop, which is run by a group of enthusiastic volunteers. We are planning to hold an exhibition of local art work created by residents of Brookenby.

Enclosed by tall horse chestnut trees, St Hilary’s is an unusual late Victorian church designed by James Fowler of Louth in 1873.

Look for the high tower with saddleback roof, the stained glass windows (particularly the Nativity scenes in the West window) and the Victorian woodwork in the chancel.

The beautiful restored Thomas Nicholson organ is a point of interest.

The church and family mausoleum is believed to have been designed by Lancelot “Capability” Brown – built c1775 whilst working for Richard 4th Earl Scarborough. Brown designed several churches (including Compton Verney in Warwickshire and Combe D’Abitot in Worcestershire), whilst carrying out his landscape commissions on estates around the country. The church is a wonderful example of the classical style he used.
