Church Of St Hybald

The Church of St Hybald is a church built in 1861 by J M Hooker and Wheeler of Tunbridge Wells for M D Dalison. It is constructed from squared limestone with limestone ashlar dressings and has a slate roof, showcasing the Gothic Revival style. The church features a 3-bay nave with a south-west tower that contains a porch, and a 2-bay chancel with a vestry attached to the north side. Notable architectural details include a chamfered plinth, quoins, buttresses, and a string-course.

The tower is three stages high, with clasping buttresses and pointed moulded doorways on both the outer and inner sides. The second stage has narrow shouldered lights, while the belfry has splay-footed openings with pointed 2-light traceries and clasping buttresses. The spire is also splay-footed and features shafted lucarnes topped with an iron cross finial.

In the nave, there are 2-light windows and a 4-light west window with Geometrical tracery. The chancel has paired lancets beneath a dripmould and a 3-light east window with Geometrical tracery, along with coped gables that have finials.

Inside, the south chancel windows are divided by polished marble shafts. There are two earlier 19th-century marble wall plaques in the vestry, one of which features a draped urn. The church also has an elaborately-carved octagonal font with marble shafts, along with other original 19th-century fittings and intact stained glass. The church is located on the side of the Lincoln Cliff, making it a prominent feature in the landscape.
