There was a church at Billingborough in the 11th century, as noted in the Domesday book. The present church dates from the early 14th century onwards and was restored in the 19th century. It consists of a north west tower with spire, nave with north and south aisles, south porch, and chancel with a small organ chamber. The tower is of four stages, 150 foot high. The top of the tower is battlemented with a recessed octagonal spire with three tiers of lucarnes. Five bells were installed in 1717, and they were rehung in 1846. The nave has an embattled parapet and closely spaced three light clerestory windows from the 15th century. The porch dates from around 1312 and the door has 14th century ironwork. The nave arcades are 14th century and are of three bays to the north, and 4 to the south. The south aisle has a piscina at the east end. There is a 15th century octagonal font on a pedestal. The nave was reroofed in 1870 at a cost of £780, and various improvements were made in 1887. In 1891 the 14th century chancel was rebuilt and a year later the east window was installed to the late Duke of Clarence. A reredos was added in 1894. The west window dates from 1912, and in 1929 the organ was restored at a cost of £200. Small amounts of mediaeval glass are retained in the tracery of several windows, the south west window is by John Hayward from 1980. The organ is originally by Brown and Son of London. The west end of the church is often used as a coffee area.
