St Clement's Church has an unbuttressed west tower which dates from 1280. The remainder dates from AD 1550 to 1600. {1}{2} The church's stone tower is possibly late 13th century in date and has a triple chamfered arch. The rest of the church is very late medieval in date and was extensively repaired in the 18th century in brick but with stone quoins and a plinth. For the former description and legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {3} A church dedicated to St Clement is recorded in Skegness in the 13th century but was destroyed by flooding in 1526 according to Leland. The present church is apparently a wholly mid 16th century church, rebuilt on a new site. Both the tower and the body of the church seem to be a single, 16th century, build incorporating considerable amounts of re-used stone. The church was restored in the 19th century but fell into disrepair in the late 19th century after St Matthew's church was opened in the new town centre. It was closed for a period in the early 20th century and was restored in the 1930s. For the full description of this listed building please refer to the National Heritage List for England. {4}
