St Peter & St Paul’s Church

Wickenby’s church — also referenced historically as St Peter & Lawrence — combines Victorian and medieval work. The west tower was built by the celebrated architect George Gilbert Scott in 1868, with further building on the north side added in 1878. Yet the south arcade, with its octagonal piers, dates all the way back to the 13th century.

The 19th-century East window depicts scenes from the life of Christ, flanked by two small niche windows showing the church’s patronal saints. On the south wall, early 14th-century stained glass carries the heraldry of the medieval Percy, Umfraville and Beaumont families. The ancient church door still bears its medieval ironwork, and vestiges of a medieval sundial can be seen near the entrance. In the south aisle, a 1635 alabaster monument with a brass inscription honours Henry Millner, and early stone head corbels remain on the roofline.
