Church Of St Hybald

The Church of St Hybald is a parish church featuring a partly restored 13th-century tower arch and a chancel south window, along with a 14th to 15th-century font. The chancel was constructed in 1865-1866 by Ewan Christian, while the nave, north aisle, and vestry were built in 1875 by James Fowler of Louth. The tower was added between 1958 and 1960 by Lawrence Bond. The nave, aisle, porch, and chancel are made of coursed limestone rubble with limestone ashlar dressings, while the tower is built from concrete blocks with ashlar dressings. The tower roof is covered with plain tiles, and the remainder of the church has slate roofs. The nave and chancel are designed in a 13th-century style, while the tower reflects the Gothic Revival style.

The church features a west tower, a four-bay nave with a north aisle, a south porch, and a two-bay chancel with a vestry adjoining the north side. The three-stage tower has a pyramidal roof. The nave and north aisle have a plinth and buttresses between the bays, with single and twin lancets featuring hood-moulds and a sill string course. The chancel has quoins and a buttress to the south, a pointed chamfered south door with a hood-mould, a tall 13th-century lancet to the left, and a pair of 19th-century lancets to the right, along with stepped east lancets.

Inside, there is a pointed double-chamfered tower arch on octagonal responds with plain moulded capitals and bases, although most of the north respond and part of the south have been restored. The 19th-century pointed double-chamfered arcade rests on cylindrical piers with moulded capitals and bases, featuring corbelled responds. The ornate pointed chancel arch has fillet mouldings on corbelled wall shafts with dogtooth moulding. A fine 14th to 15th-century carved Perpendicular font has an octagonal bowl on a 19th-century pedestal and base, with the bowl decorated with foliate cresting on the side panels, a band of fleurons, a series of rosettes, faces, and an angel on the underside.
