Background

History

The church was built in the twelfth century and underwent alterations to the interior and exterior in the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. It was restored in 1819 and again in 1908. Nicholas Antram, in his revised Lincolnshire volume in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, notes the range of architectural styles evident: from the Norman north door, through the Early English Gothic of the arcade to later Decorated and Perpendicular elements. The interior contains an important funerary monument depicting a knight and his wife and dating from about 1370. St Bodolph's remains an active church holding regular services, weddings, and community events.
