Top Independent in Sleaford from SAR 193 - Expedia

Grade I listed. The church dates from the late 12th century onwards, although a church was mentioned in the Domesday book. Originally there was a cruciform Norman church, parts of which still remain. The church could have been an ex Anglo-Saxon Minster or new Collegiate foundation. There is a nave with north and south aisles, north and south transepts with crossing tower, chancel and south porch. The west front dates from circa 1170 and was remodelled in the 15th century. The nave was constructed in the first half of the 13th century, the north and south arcades are asymmetrical. There is a set of eight windows in the late 15th century clerestory. There are four-bay arcades, the north on hexagonal piers the south has one round and two quatrefoil piers. The chancel dates from the 12th century, and unusually has a sedilia with a single round arch. The crossing tower was remodelled around 1330, and the tower has battlements and pinnacles and several gargoyles. The arches of the crossing are leaning out of line, and an attempt was made in the 14th century to repair them. This can easily been seen when looking at the nave towards the chancel. The north transept has a 15th century tomb recess with the arms of Sir Thomas La Launde, died 1470. This may also be part of an Easter Sepulchre. The church has several monuments with brass plate designed by Pugin. The octagonal font is from the 15th century and has instruments of the passion on each face. There is a two manual organ by Binns, which was removed from Bailgate Methodist Church, Lincoln. Pic by Jenny
