St Philip
Brinkhill, Lincolnshire
The present church was built in red brick with greenstone and slate in 1857 by Maugham and Fowler and replaced the original chalk and thatch building.
This 12th century church is approached by a short climb up a path next to the old school house. It retains Transitional to Perpendicular features but is much restored. The Norman doorway is said to have come from the ruined church of Calceby.
Stained glass dates to the late 15th to 17th centuries, and includes pieces of German, Dutch and French origin. It believed that some glass was collected from Notre Dame at the time of the French Revolution.
In the south chapel a white marble plaque is dedicated to William Burrell Massingberd, who died in 1802, as well as other members of his family.
