St Faith, Wilsthorpe

This is not an old church, with the current structure being built in the early 18th Century, after an earlier building was pulled down in 1715. The church was altered in the 1860's with the work apparantly not going down too well with the locals! The work was undertaken by James Fowler, architect, and five times mayor of Louth, who did work on several churches in Lincolnshire.   The church here is kept open to visitors, as are several in this area. Inside, the church is simple bright and elegant, and is very attractive, especially with the sun streaming in through the south windows. There is a gallery built over the porch. Something that I did notice was some more ancient grafitti with many names carved in to the stonework on the inside, on either side of the main doorway. See Peterborough Churchcrawler for further information.
