Lincolnshire is a county in eastern England, with a long coastline on the North Sea to the east. It borders Norfolk to the south east, Cambridgeshire to the south, Rutland to the south west, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire to the west, South Yorkshire to the north west, and the East Riding of Yorkshire to the north. It also borders Northamptonshire in the south for just 20 yards (18 m), England's shortest county boundary. The county town is the city of Lincoln, where the county council has its headquarters.

The National Heritage List for England (NHLE) is England’s official list of buildings, monuments, parks and gardens, wrecks, battlefields and World Heritage Sites. It is maintained by Historic England and brings together these different designations as a single resource even though they vary in the type of legal protection afforded to each. Conservation areas do not appear on the NHLE since they are designated by the relevant local planning authority.

History

The church was built between 1837 and 1840 on the site of an earlier church,^[2] and was designed by William Adams Nicholson.^[1] It was declared "redundant" in May 1981.^[4]

William Adams Nicholson (1803–1853) was an English architect who worked in Lincoln and was a founding member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Redundant church is a phrase particularly used to refer to former Anglican church buildings no longer required for regular public worship in the United Kingdom, but may refer to any disused church building around the world.

Architecture

Exterior

All Saints is constructed in rendered brick and green sandstone rubble. The roofs are slated.^[1] It is a small church seating only about 80 people.^[4] Its plan consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower with a spire. The whole church stands on a plinth. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses, and has a pointed west window with two lights. There are two-light pointed bell openings on each side. The parapet consists of pierced battlements containing tracery, and it has ornate corner pinnacles. The tower is surmounted by a recessed octagonal spire, supported by ornate flying buttresses, and is decorated with crockets.^[1] The spire is said to echo the similar but larger spire of St. James Church in Louth.^[2]^[5]

Stucco material made of aggregates, a binder, and water

Stucco or render is a material made of aggregates, a binder, and water. Stucco is applied wet and hardens to a very dense solid. It is used as a decorative coating for walls and ceilings, and as a sculptural and artistic material in architecture. Stucco may be used to cover less visually appealing construction materials, such as metal, concrete, cinder block, or clay brick and adobe.

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments.

Rubble is broken stone, of irregular size, shape and texture; undressed especially as a filling-in. Rubble naturally found in the soil is known also as 'brash'. Where present, it becomes more noticeable when the land is ploughed or worked.

Along the north side of the nave are three two-light pointed windows, alternating with four buttresses that are surmounted by ornate pinnacles. Along the top of the nave are moulded eaves and battlements. In the north wall of the chancel is a single narrow pointed window. At the east end are angle buttresses with pinnacles, and a three-light pointed window. Over this is an ornate parapet with a corbel head and a cross finial. The south wall of the chancel has a single narrow window, and in the south wall of the nave are two two-light pointed windows. The porch is gabled and has single-light windows in its east and west sides. It has moulded eaves, an ornate parapet with a finial, and pinnacles.^[1]

Molding (decorative) class of decorative elements in the ornamentation

Moulding, also known as coving(United Kingdom, Australia), is a strip of material with various profiles used to cover transitions between surfaces or for decoration. It is traditionally made from solid milled wood or plaster, but may be of plastic or reformed wood. In classical architecture and sculpture, the molding is often carved in marble or other stones.

The eaves are the edges of the roof which overhang the face of a wall and, normally, project beyond the side of a building. The eaves form an overhang to throw water clear of the walls and may be highly decorated as part of an architectural style, such as the Chinese dougong bracket systems.

Corbel piece of masonry jutting out of a wall to carry any superincumbent weight

In architecture a corbel is a structural piece of stone, wood or metal jutting from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight, a type of bracket. A corbel is a solid piece of material in the wall, whereas a console is a piece applied to the structure. A piece of timber projecting in the same way was called a "tassel" or a "bragger" in the UK. The technique of corbelling, where rows of corbels deeply keyed inside a wall support a projecting wall or parapet, has been used since Neolithic, or New Stone Age, times. It is common in Medieval architecture and in the Scottish baronial style as well as in the vocabulary of classical architecture, such as the modillions of a Corinthian cornice, Hindu temple architecture and in ancient Chinese architecture.

Interior

Flanking the chancel arch are boards painted with the Ten Commandments, and over the arch are the Royal arms of Queen Victoria.^[1]^[2] The pews date from the 19th century, and are carved with poppyheads. There are two box pews, one of which incorporates the pulpit and the lectern. The choir stalls, altar rail and reredos are all from the 19th century, as is the stained glass, which includes a copy of The Light of the World by Holman Hunt.^[1] There are some older fittings moved from the previous church.^[5] These date from the 15th century, and are an octagonal font, and another smaller font or a stoup. The memorials date from the 18th and 19th centuries.^[1]

The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship, which play a fundamental role in Judaism and Christianity. The commandments include instructions to worship only God, to honour one's parents, and to keep the sabbath day holy, as well as prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, theft, dishonesty, and coveting. Different religious groups follow different traditions for interpreting and numbering them.

The royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, or the Royal Arms for short, is the official coat of arms of the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. These arms are used by the Queen in her official capacity as monarch of the United Kingdom. Variants of the Royal Arms are used by other members of the British royal family; and by the British Government in connection with the administration and government of the country. In Scotland, there exists a separate version of the Royal Arms, a variant of which is used by the Scotland Office. The arms in banner form serve as basis for the monarch's official flag, known as the Royal Standard.

Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. On 1 May 1876, she adopted the additional title of Empress of India.
