Background
History
It is thought that a Roman church once stood on the site. This appears to have been succeeded by a Saxon Minster, although construction of the present building started c.1250. The building appears to have experienced two major works of restoration: Whilst remaining in regular use as the Parish Church of Horncastle, by 2001 a Roman Catholic congregation was also using the building for its Mass on Saturday evenings at 6:00 pm and continues to have Mass there at that time.
Architecture
The building is dominated by three architectural styles: There are also some Georgian influences, such as the heavily restored 14th-century piscina in the chancel's south wall.
