Castle Plat Plantation

St.Edith's churchyard, South Reston, Lincs. The parishioners of South Reston built a new church here by James Fowler in 1864 ..... it was shamelessly pulled down in 1983. The splendid Perpendicular font with eight heads marks the site, surrounded by the graves of parishioners who most probably worshipped in the church. One of many demolished churches in this part of Lincolnshire.
