Scene Description: Source caption: "St Mary’s was built in 1914 by Temple Moore, and Irish “Arts and Crafts” architect. It has a west tower, nave with the central arcade, rectangular chancel with a north vestry and plain tiled roofs. The tower has a west door and a flat roof, although it originally had a small spire. Inside, there is a central two bay nave arcade with tall piers and richly moulded arches. The south east chancel window and east window of the vestry each have re-used 15th century windows. There is a 12th century octagonal stone font, most of the other fittings are contemporary with the building of the church. The church was damaged in the 2008 Lincoln earthquake."

view of font - southeast view

Scene Description: Source caption: "St. Mary's font. Somewhat of an enigma ... reputedly from All Saints' church, but All Saints still has a font ! The stem may be 17th century, but the bowl could be late Medieval."
