St John the Baptist, Bisbrooke
Bisbrooke is a pretty little village that is just a couple of miles east of Uppingham close to the A47. In the 2001 census it had a small population of 219. Most of the writeup for this text is taken from the excellent Bisbrooke History at the Rutnet site.
The church was totally rebuilt in 1871 in the style of a 13th century by a Mr Langley an Uppingham architect. The church of St John the Baptist was built for £1200. The previous church which was built in the 13th century had become neglected by the mid 19th century and so was rebuilt. The old church consisted of chancel, clerestoried nave, north aisle and south porch. There was a bell-cote over the west gable. The present church built of coursed ironstone with lined interior of dressed stone has a north vestry, chancel, clerestoried nave, north & south aisles and west tower with north entrance at base. - Ken Ince (photographer)
