The Shell Guide to Lincolnshire says of Gainsborough: "Dreary red houses line the approaches, and the streets leading to the centre seem to be made up of forbidding factories and warehouses. The highlights though are the River Trent, The Old Hall, and the parish church." Ashcroft Mill, which was George Eliot's "Mill on the Floss" stood near the Trent Bridge and has long gone. The parish church of All Saints has a medieval tower and a classical 18th century body. It was built by Francis Smith of Warwick between 1736 and 1744 but retained the Perpendicular tower of the old church.
