Grade II listed building with an interesting history. The tower is clearly medieval and has a Norman tower arch with waterleaf capitals, but was in decay by 1619 when Fen Drainage Adventurer Thomas Garrett founded a chapel of ease to Washingborough. In 1865 Michael Drury adapted the fabric to become the village school, a function continued until the mid-1970s. It is now a place of worship and the Thomas Garrett Heritage Room
