Details |
Episcopal church, still in use, depicted on OS 1st and 2nd edition maps. Designed by William Hay, 1853, built in early pointed style with some very individual detail. It is constructed of squared rubble granite, the nave of four bays with a low lean-to narthex, a southwest porch and clerestory of alternately 1- and 2-window. It has a central tower with lean-to aisles but no transepts. The tower has 2-light belfry stage windows, crowstepped saddleback roof, and octagonal stair turret reaching half way up the middle stage only. The short chancel has three stepped east lancets. Internally there are square nave piers with stop chamfers. Plain sedilia, and rich reredos of 1875 with five cusped and gabled lancets with sculpture illustrating the life of Christ. Within the church is a memorial to the crew of one of the airships from Lenabo Royal Naval Airship Station (NK04SW0025) which crashed in the North Sea in 1918. The church also contains a mural tablet to airman Flight Lieutenant George A.F. Henderson, killed in an accident near Grantham in 1918.
