All Saints' Church is the parish church of the village of Horsington in Lincolnshire, England. The church was originally built as a thatched church before it was rebuilt in 1860 as a red brick church. The church was built to include a spire and bigger base for the congregation. It was given Grade II listed building status in September 1966.[2][3]
History
[edit]The church was originally thatched and was occupied by the Horsington Anglican rectory who were living at the church and rectory by it at the time.[clarification needed] The rectory and church were a gift given by the Magdalen College in Oxford who owned the land and the church and were also the de facto provider of the villages Lords of the Manor. The church was eventually rebuilt in 1860 with a spire, bigger hall and red brick design. The church remains the parish church of the village and surrounding hamlets.
Historic England's listing for the building describes it as:
"Red brick with ashlar dressings, slate roofs with stone coped gables. Nave, south aisle and porch, south eastern tower with steeple, chancel and vestry. The west end of the south aisle has a single lancet, and the west end of the nave has 3 stepped lancets with a trefoil over, this arrangement marred by a later boiler house and chimney. The north side has alternate pairs of lancet and 2 light openings with pierced circle over. The vestry has a 2 light window and a single lancet on the east side. The chancel has a single lancet to north and south sides and in the east wall are 3 stepped lancets with trefoil heads united under a common pointed arch. The south eastern tower is of 2 stages with 2 moulded stone string courses, a corbel table and a broach red brick spire with single lucarnes."
