Skellingthorpe Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

There has been a church on the site since the 13th century. By 1854 the church was in a dilapidated condition and was rebuilt in 1855 by Hussey, using much of the old materials. There was a nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, and also a spire on the tower roof. The lower stages of the tower still contain some mediaeval masonry. In 1916 there was a severe fire which left only the walls standing. Due to limited funds, only the chancel was given a permanent roof, the nave had a temporary roof which lasted nearly 80 years! The spire was never rebuilt, and the aisle arcades replaced with brick and concrete ones. The church was re-ordered in 1992 when the nave and aisle roofs, internal columns and pews were removed, and a new roof which spans the whole width of the church containing a glass lantern skylight. Services are now held in the nave part of the church, with the chancel being used for the creche and for more intimate services. There is a fine east window by Edward Payne. The church now has a Kitchen, toilet and Wi-fi.

The letters are cast from anodised aluminium, the same material from which many of the World War II planes would have been made. The reverse of the wall is an imprint of the earth beneath the Swinderby base.

I had stayed here previously a few years ago and was surprised to find how run down this hotel was. The layout of reception etc… had changed now requiring going up and down lots of stairs. Our beds had seen better days. The paint was peeling off our bathroom door and the television unit. The shower ...
