Full Description

The church of St Andrew was built in brick in 1711, on a north to south orientation. It is shown in Buck's sketch of Barlings Abbey. A 17th century pewter flagon is on loan to Lincoln museum. {1}{4} St Andrew's Church was rebuilt in 1711 to form a vista in the early 18th century park of the hall. It was constructed of brick, in Flemish bond, with stone quoins. The church is not orientated, and what will here be called west is in fact north, etc. The church has a thin west north tower with an ogee cap, like a jacobean stair- turret. The nave’s south west side has two arched windows and in the middle between them is a doorway with an open segmental pediment on brackets. The north east wall is of stone and has no windows. The chancel south east window is Victorianized, i.e. Gothicized, by James Fowler in 1887. There is also a good reredos with a big segmental pediment on fluted ionic pilasters. The pulpit is plain. Hangings with the commandments etc are embroidered in cross-stitch. There is also armour (a helmet and gauntlets) kept in the church. {2} A parish church dating from 1711 which underwent alterations in the 19th century by James Fowler.
