Scene Description: Source caption: "Interior, St Stephen's church, Hatton. St Stephen's is a small 19th-century church designed by Louth architect James Fowler (1828-1892). Built in 1871 on the site of a dilapidated medieval church, St Stephen is typical of many of the churches designed by Fowler. There is a nave, chancel, rounded apse, a turret with spirelet and vestry entrance and a south porch, all with steep slated roofs. The walls are of red brick (possibly from local brickworks) with bands of green sandstone. This stone was probably reclaimed from the old church and some blocks have weathered badly leading to some deterioration of brickwork. Inside, the roof is scissor-braced, the chancel is tiled, and there is some polychromatic brickwork in the chancel arch."

There is an entry for this Hatton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF1776/hatton/] [accessed 3 February 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Liber Ecclesiasticus of 1835 has an entry for a church dedicated to St. Stephen in Hatton. English Heritage [Listing NGR: TF1773776842] (1966), however, reports: " C19 drum font of 8 large rolls supported on 8 moulded columns", and mentions several elements from the earlier, 13th-century church here. The modern font here is noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Font. Tall and thin, with octofoil-shaped bowl." [NB: the font is probably from the 1870 re-building by James Fowler].
