Delightful small rural Lincolnshire church set amongst a pretty churchyard that contains the base and part shaft of a 15th century preaching cross.
Firsby, Lincolnshire
St Andrew's was built in 1856 by GE Street and is a Grade II listed building. Built in the Early English style it cost £950 and comprises a slate tiled roof atop a simple limestone structure. A lovely place to take time out from the stresses of life.
A tabled monument to Mary Alice Walls, who died in 1877, is rather striking. It features coloured mosaic marble with gilded diaper work and shows a young woman with flowing red hair. But who was she?
Irby in the Marsh, Lincolnshire
This quaint 13th century church which is medieval in origin is built mainly of greenstone and brick. Re-detailed in 1770, it was also restored during 1886. A 15th century plain octagonal font is well worth a viewing.
Little Steeping, Lincolnshire
A beautiful rural English church with an international connection as shown in the stained glass windows above the altar, which commemorate Revd Steere, an incumbent who became Bishop of Zanzibar and translated the Bible into Swahili.
Great Steeping, Lincolnshire
Great Steeping is home to two churches named All Saints and this one, built in 1891 of red brick, is the youngest.
