Scene Description: Source caption: "Holy Trinity church, West Allington, Lincs. A patchwork of medieval stone and 18th century brick, Holy Trinity has a Norman south doorway and a north arcade of c1200 and all sorts of stonework said to have come from the demolished church of East Allington. A fascinating archaeological conundrum."
