Source caption: "St Benedict's church, Scrivelsby [...] The church, built mainly of greenstone, dates back to the 13th century although alterations have occurred throughout the years. Major restoration took place in 1860 by Sir Henry Dymoke, when a North-west tower with a recessed spire was added. The roof of slate was also replaced during this period."

view of church interior - looking east

Source caption: "The present lectern, made locally in 1871, stands in front of a massive pillar, which was evidently the foundation of what was once the chancel arch, the old chancel ending at the site of the attractive oak screen. The arches of the nave are early English, the chancel arch and church itself perpendicular, while the windows show three different styles."
