Church of St. Margaret

The Church of St. Margaret is a parish church dating back to the 14th century, with subsequent restorations in 1601, 1843, and 1869. It is constructed primarily of quaternary flint and chert, with ashlar dressings of Lincolnshire Limestone. The nave has a thatched roof, while the chancel is slate-roofed.

A three-stage west tower features diagonal buttresses to the ringing chamber, with each stage set off. A two-light cusped Y tracery window is located beneath a hood label on the west side. The ringing chamber has square cusped windows, the western one dating to the 19th century. Belfry windows with two lights and Y tracery are situated below a crenellated parapet. A staircase is located to the south-east. The nave's buttresses are stepped and diagonal at the corners. A gabled south porch incorporates diagonal buttresses, a wave moulded round arch below a trefoiled statuary niche, and two-light Perpendicular side lights. Inside the porch is a multiply wave moulded inner south door, and an arched north door is also present. The nave’s north and south sides have three arched windows with two or three lights and restored or renewed cusped intersecting tracery. Rood stairs are positioned to the south-east of the nave. The south chancel is illuminated by a 19th-century triple stepped lancet window under a single hood mould to the west, and a two-light divergent mouchette window to the east. An arched priests' door is present, as are diagonal east buttresses and a four-light cusped intersecting east window. The north chancel features a single two-light mouchette window and one blocked two-light Y tracery window. The chancel eaves have been raised on the north side with brickwork.

Inside, a chamfered tower arch leads into the nave, and a double chamfered chancel arch separates the nave from the chancel. The nave has a scissor-braced 14th-century roof with collars and boarded ashlaring. A late 14th-century octagonal font is present, with ogee traceried stem panels and two-light mouchette tracery in the bowl panels. Wall paintings from the late 14th century are found on the north wall, depicting St. Christopher carrying Christ, and the morality subjects of "The Three Living and The Three Dead." A 15th-century reading desk with poppyheads and two traceried panels is also present. A heavily restored screen, originally from the 15th century, features four bays on either side of an arched cusped opening. It includes two-light tracery dados and upper tracery panelling below a top rail. A monument within the chancel is dedicated to Dame Katherine Paston (died 1629), created by Nicholas Stone, and fashioned from alabaster. It includes double arches supported on Corinthian columns, a pediment with drapery swags, and reclining figures flanking an achievement. A white marble reclining effigy of Katherine Paston rests on the tomb chest. To the west stands a monument to Edward Paston (died 1632), also by Nicholas Stone, constructed of stone and black marble, featuring a plain urn on a square plinth within a Tuscan column aedicule, topped by a segmental open pediment. The aedicule’s ceiling is coved and coffered. Iron railings from 1632 enclose both monuments, with iron twist verticals terminating in ball and steeple finials with wreathed scrolls, and square section uprights ending in spiked finials. A group of three trefoiled sedilia, with roll moulded openings, are situated in the chancel, alongside a trefoiled angle piscina to the left. The chancel roof is boarded. Painted Royal Arms representing William IV (1831) are displayed above the tower arch.
