St.Nicholas' church, Grainsby, Lincs. A fascinating archaeological puzzle with a Norman south doorway (missing the shafts described by Pevsner) and what looks like an early English tower, but it once had a high nave with a steep pitched roof. Bits of zig-zag moulding re-set and a north side refaced in brick in 1834.
