Scene Description: Source caption: "Two churches were mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in Dalby, but one of them is thought to have been in Dexthorpe. The old Dalby church was thatched and contained a Norman chancel arch, but it became so dilapidated that it was demolished in 1862. The present church, designed by James Fowler of Louth, was built on the same foundations using the stone from the old church for the outside walls. Building was started in June 1862. It was opened for Divine service by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln on 14th October of that year. The church contains two 17th century monuments to the Llandon family. These and the bell came from the old church. There is no record of Dalby church having been dedicated to any patron saint prior to 1960."

There is a multiple-place entry for this Dalby [variamt spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF4070/dalby/] [accessed 2 December 2019]; it mentions two churches in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) note: "Font. Octagonal, with quatrefoil panels." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF4094370081] notes: "Parish church. 1862. James Fowler of Louth. Re-using some material from the former church. [...] C14 octagonal ashlar font with quatrefoil panels." The octagonal font has seven panels decorated with cusped quatrefoils that have the internal angles floriated; the eighth panel is unfinished, blank; the pedestal base and lower base are octagonal and plain; the plinth, which appears modern, is square. The wooden font cover is flat, with moulded edges; metal ring handle; appears modern.
