Description
The Church of All Saints, now closed, is a parish church with a railed tomb enclosure located in Wyham cum Cadeby. The church dates from the 13th, 14th, 16th, and 17th centuries, with a restoration in 1886 by James Fowler of Louth. It is constructed from chalk rubble, ironstone blocks, and red brick, topped with stone coped slate roofs.
The building features a nave with a western bellcote, a chancel, and a south porch. The west wall of the nave has an early 14th-century reticulated window with three lights, a single chamfered surround, and a moulded hood. Above this window is a blocked 17th-century two-light window with a central mullion and square surround, topped with a 12th-century chevron moulded voussoir. The gable features a 19th-century single gabled bellcote. The north wall of the nave has two 19th-century two-light windows, while the chancel contains two 19th-century lancets and a presumably reset 13th-century single chamfered pointed niche. Above this niche is a short run of herringbone work, likely 19th-century decoration, which balances a similar panel on the south side.
At the east end of the chancel, there is an enclosure containing two tombs of the Grant family, who died in 1838, surrounded by alternating Serpentine and fluted railings, with the fluted sections having shaped tops. The chancel's east window is a 19th-century three-light window with intersecting tracery, set within an earlier four-centred arched surround. The south walls of the chancel and nave match those on the north, with the addition of a 20th-century brick porch. The inner 14th-century doorway features a continuous hollow chamfered surround.
Inside, there is a 19th-century chamfered chancel arch supported by annular corbels. Most fittings have been removed, but a 19th-century pulpit and font remain. The stained glass in the east window is by Warrington.
