Find a church

There has been a Christian church on this site since at least 633 AD, as recorded by the Veneral Bede who mentioned that there was a church and a priest during the time of the Battle of Hatfield in that same year.

It is clear from the first glimpse that this is a church out of the ordinary.

During WWII Butlins holiday camp was named HMS Royal Arthur and today the church has a Royal Arthur chapel with a memorial stained glass window.

This ancient parish church is a small pantiled structure overlooking a large green to the south and west.

A great feature of the church is the splendid barrel organ, the only one in working order still to be found in a Lincolnshire church.

Built between 1851 and 1853 at a time when the town was rapidly expanding and prosperous, the church is vast, with a magnificent tower with octagonal spire reaching to some 220 feet high, a landmark which can be seen for many miles around. 

The first church was built in the 13th century and in 1227 William de Withern was appointed vicar.

You will find St Mary's Claxby on a back lane with glorious views north across the Wolds towards Nettleton Top.
