It was in 1836 that Lindsey church lost its tower, and since then a single bell is contained in a small timbered bellcote. The porch is 14th century and doesn’t look a day less. The gnarled old oak timbers have protected the doorway for almost 600 years. Attached to the arch are two shoe scrapers, a reminder that the roads and paths weren’t always as clean as they are today. The church is contemporary with the porch and has changed very little over the intervening years, however all periods of history are represented. It is unusual in that the carving on the 13th century font is in relief and a cover larger than today’s Stuart example, once hung from a pulley above. The Stuart pulpit has been spoiled by the removal of the sounding board. Half the painted lower part of the rood screen is still in place.
An early 17th Century memorial with grinning skull and garlands adds a note of absurd gravitas. There are remains of paintings and image niches around the walls, and there is an ancient font, from about 1300. The font stands against a pillar on the arcade of the south aisle, which is traditional, but this font must have stood alone at some point, since it has designs on all sides. And, in any case, it is older than the pillar.
There are some fascinating grafitti on this arcade, including a scratch-dial near the font, so this stone must once have been outside. There is what appears to be a 12th century bishop. If this particular scratching is contemporary, then it is older than the church, and both these stones must have been reused from an earlier building. And there is a rose, to reminds us of the pubs.
The great drop-window in the north aisle wall must have been off-set by an altar; Mortlock thinks to the guild of St Peter. He also detects fixings for a parclose screen (and hence a chantry chapel) in the south aisle. We have here an ordinary village church with much evidence of its former Catholic life.
