St Peter

St Helen's sits proud in the centre of this modest Lincolnshire village but in the nearby hills and fields lies a wealth of history including bronze age barrows and Roman roads. But first fast forward through the centuries to this rural church. The tower and its arch is Norman and has a battlemented parapet and pinnacles. Over the centuries further additions were made, including the installation of the village clock, situated in the tower.

More than fifty grotesque and medieval faces perched high in the steeple are waiting to greet you as you arrive at this tiny Victorian church. The best way to approach St Helen's is by foot, walking the Viking Way through the gentle rolling Lincolnshire Wolds.

The church of the flying hassocks! A pretty Early English church nestling in a delightful Wolds village situated on the long distance Viking Way walk. Apparently it was the custom at weddings in this church to pelt the bridal party with hassocks as it entered the church, but this practice came to an end when one of the rectors, was on the receiving end of one of the hassocks!
