The church of All Saints was built about 1200, except for the steeple which is much more recent. It was thoroughly restored in 1868. On December 9th 1765, a sudden and unexpected high tide inundated the salt marsh on the north end of the parish and drowned 2,092 sheep and 13 horses, plus a few cows. On November 10th 1810, a breach in the seawall caused considerable damage and some loss of life. By 1872, Moulton village had a railway station on the Bourne and Lynn branch of the Midland & Great Northern line. In 1890, Moulton Chapel was made a separate parish, by order of Her Majesty in council, on May 17th. The boundary line was made the middle of Austendyke road. The southern boundary was Queen’s bank.
