All Saints Church

All Saints, Snelland, has been built and rebuilt across three major phases: the original 12th-century church, a significant rebuilding in the early 15th century, and a final major reconstruction in 1862. The south wall is the oldest surviving section. Two windows on the south side of the nave show “late Decorated” style tracery of around 1440, and the church contains relocated windows from the early 15th century — one moved from the aisle, and another, carved from a single stone, now in the vestry, which the Lincolnshire Architectural Society believes may once have served as a leper’s window in the chancel.

Two corbel stones at the porch arch were most likely reused from the chancel arch during the 19th-century reconstruction. The site also carries a notable historical connection to Thomas Retford, who was executed for opposing Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries.
