Roughton Church Well off the beaten track, the Church of St Margaret seems to blend into the Lincolnshire countryside. It is grade II* listed and designated an ancient monument. The chancel dates from the 13th century and the rest mostly from the 15th; it was restored in 1870. The churchyard is noted for its snowdrops but this mid-March view is a little late for that; instead there is a pleasing clump of daffodils.
