St Mary
Knaith, Lincolnshire
A curiously odd and delightfully intriguing church set beside the mighty river Trent.
The 20th century rood screen that crosses the south chancel is made of oak from the Lea Estate and was built by local craftsmen as a memorial to the men of the parish who lost their lives during the First World War, a plaque to the side lists the names of those men. The small, two manual, organ was built in 1849 by Hunter of London and was originally installed at the west end of the church in the 13th century tower arch. It was moved to its current position, in the south chancel, in 1875 and was first played by the organist of York Minster, Dr WH Monk.
