St. Mary's was given to the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln in 1100, an event which probably took place shortly after its building. The oldest part dates from the 13th century. Both the tower and the south transept were added during the 14th century.

It was a fantastic building and I wondered if anyone knew anymore about the history of it and what it was originally was or have any photo's of it?
