St Andrew
Apley, Lincolnshire
By 1816 a brick shed on the site had been converted for use as a mortuary chapel and when the graveyard was enlarged in 1871 it was replaced by the small brick building which we see today.
The charming red brick chapel of St George stands alone amid acres of corn and oilseed rape with only a few trees for company. It is situated beside one of Lincolnshire's lost villages, an old Saxon settlement long since buried. The name 'Goltho'; is said to be Saxon for 'where the marigolds grow'. Inside, it previously boasted an atmosphere of calm and simplicity, with rustic wooden pews, an altar screen and a simple two decker pulpit. Sadly however, the chapel was the victim of a heart breaking fire in 2013 and currently remains closed.
