The village church at Morton, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The village church of St John the Baptist at Morton, three miles north of Bourne, is a landmark in the fenland countryside, its tall pinnacles rising from the heart of the cross-shaped church while the wide western porch faces the main street, a monument to Christianity in this part of Lincolnshire and now illuminated at night so that it can be seen from several miles away, a beacon of faith in a flat and sometimes featureless landscape. The building dates from the 12th century but has undergone various restorations including one in 1861 due to the philanthropy of William Parker (1792-1885) whose memorial can be seen inside the church.
