I posted some photo's taken at Saltfleet Haven a while ago, a short distance away is the village of Saltfleetby.
The parish church there is All Saints, I've always been interested in the small, often redundant parish Churches. They have a charm of their own, with an atmosphere not found in larger Churches and Cathedrals.
All Saints Church, Saltfleetby, is a redundant Anglican church in the village of Saltfleetby All Saints, Lincolnshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church stands in the marshland of Lincolnshire, and has a leaning west tower.
The church dates from the 12th century, with alterations and additions in each of the following three centuries, in 1611, and in 1873. Inside are fragments of a building probably dating to about 1150. It was built in the Early English and Perpendicular styles. It was repaired in 1886 by R. J. Withers. The church was declared redundant in November 1973, and was vested in the Redundant Churches Fund (the forerunner of the Churches Conservation Trust) during the same year.

The tower at this church has been leaning for many years. |
The south porch façade appears to lean outwards too. |
The Chancel on the South side has a plain carved screen separating it from the choir area. |
I don't know what the plant is but there were several around in this Church. I'm sure someone will advise me what it's called. |

This lovely font stands near the south entrance door. It's intriguing to think of all the Christenings that have taken place here over many centuries. |
More of the plain latticed windows allowing a clean white light into this area decorated with more of the plants. |
