Saltfleetby
St. Peter. In the 1870's, with the church building in a very poor state of repair, it was decided to build a new church. The original church was dismantled, stone by stone, and moved to a new site closer to the village. In 1876, on the second Sunday after Easter, the last service was held in the old church. A few weeks later, on 23rd May, a foundation stone for the new building was laid by the Bishop of Lincoln. Fourteen months later the first service was held in the new church.
The photos show the tower of the old church, which was deemed too dangerous to move, and the new church built to the same ground plan as the original building.
The area around the old church (now known locally as "The Stump") was still used as a burial ground. However, today it is very overgrown with very thick trees and a lot of ivy on the floor. The majority of the gravestones are very difficult to read, but luckily there is a list of Monumental Inscriptions at the Lincolnshire Records Office which was taken several years ago when the graves were legible.
