St Benedict

The current church was built by ED Rainey of Spilsby in 1838 and replaced an earlier church which had become derelict.

Standing in pretty a churchyard, the church looks rather unassuming. But the chancel east window has fine early 20th century stained glass which commemorates Margaret Massingberd of nearby Gunby Hall who died in 1906. Many connections to Gunby Hall and its chapel can be found within St Benedict’s.
