About All Saints Church, Saltfleetby

All Saints Church stands in the small village of Saltfleetby All Saints, on the Lincolnshire marshes near Louth.

Its square west tower leans visibly, a quirk that has earned it the name the leaning tower of Lincolnshire.

The church is no longer used for regular worship and is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.

Inside, the light-filled nave holds a fifteenth-century carved screen and two contrasting pulpits.

History of All Saints Church, Saltfleetby

A church has stood on this site in the heart of the Lincolnshire marshland east of Louth for many centuries. The building was declared redundant and passed into the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, which took on responsibility for its upkeep and conservation. It is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.

Architecture of All Saints Church, Saltfleetby

The nave is long and low, set against a tall tower that leans noticeably to the west, a structural quirk thought to result from the soft marshland ground beneath it. The heavy timbered roof is original medieval carpentry, left largely unadorned.

Worth knowing

One of the church's two pulpits is seventeenth century and came from Oriel College, Oxford. The other pulpit dates from the early modern period and is considerably plainer, giving the church two pulpits of markedly different character standing side by side.
