Summary
| Description |
The present church dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, although it was much restored in Victorian times. In fact the whole appearance makes it seem Victorian. The cause of the restoration was a hailstorm on 25th April 1843 when the spire was struck by lightning and masonry fell into the nave destroying the roof and the old gallery at the west end. The vicar at the time, the Honourable and Reverend Leland Noel (a brother of the Earl of Gainsborough), immediately began the work of restoration and employed a young London architect, Richard Cromwell Carpenter (1812-55). Apparently he found much needed doing, not just as a result of the lightning strike. He would have liked to do a great deal but a dispute arose between the Vicar and the parish. Whatever the reason he was replaced in 1851 by well-known architect John Loughborough Pearson. Pearson had also worked on the tower and choir of Peterborough Cathedral. |
