Saint Helen's Church, Saxby Little information exists on the previous church on this site that was replaced by this Grade I Listed Parish church and Mausoleum chapel for the Earls of Scarbrough completed in 1775. The architect is thought to be Thomas Lumby who rebuilt the roof of the Chapter House at Lincoln Cathedral, or his son William who worked on the refitting of the Cathedral in 1777-9 and was architect for the County gaol within the Castle grounds in Lincoln. In 1869 one of the south windows was replaced with a stained glass memorial window to John Wheelwright Robinson who lived at Saxby Manor. With a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund the church was redecorated to the original colour scheme in 2005.
