St Guthlac's, Market Deeping
It is thought that the present church stood on the same ground as an earlier structure, which would possibly have been a purely wooden building. This is backed up by a Saxon coffin lid which rests on the left hand side of the chancel. There is a similar lid in the porch at nearby Thurlby.
Some decent gargoyles and grotesques can be found here. Grotesques over both North and South interior walls, with one holding out a begging bowl and another with tongue out in typical Medieval gesture both catching the eye. On the outside, some very nice gargoyles can be seen. Most churches in this area have there fair share of decent gargoyles and grotesques, with the puzzling exception of neighbouring Deeping St James which has none. See Peterborough Churchcrawler for further information. - Ken Ince (photographer)
