Our Churches

Our Nine Churches

We have nine church buildings, dedicated to a wonderful array of saints, spread across the villages of the Wolds and the Marsh. Guide, history and photos for each, all together in one place.

All Saints’, Legbourne

A Grade I listed C14 church of grey and green sandstone with a copper roof — medieval glass, a 15th-century chancel screen and a graffiti trail.

St Edith’s, North Reston

A quiet farmland church honouring St Edith of Wilton, daughter of an Anglo-Saxon king who chose a life of prayer over the royal court.

St Oswald’s, Strubby

A 13th-century church rebuilt in 1857, with a medieval effigy, an Elizabethan memorial, and a window telling the story of RAF Strubby.

St John the Baptist, Belleau

Rebuilt in the 1300s and again in 1862, with a medieval preaching cross and a knight’s effigy from the ruined Greenfield Priory.

St Nicholas, Swaby

A simple, light-filled church set back from the road, with clear glass looking out over grazing cattle and wildflower churchyard.

St Andrew, South Thoresby

A 1728 red-brick church on the eastern edge of the Wolds, its clear windows a welcome to walkers on the footpaths nearby.

St Vedast, Tathwell

A hilltop church dedicated to a rare patron — only two churches in Britain share the name of this French healer-bishop.

St Peter, Raithby

Home to the only working barrel organ left in a Lincolnshire church — and the subject of our virtual tour, made by Push Creativity.

St Martin, Withcall

A secluded Wolds church with a wartime story, a poet’s family connection, and views across open farmland.
