St.Peter's church

South view of St.Peter's church, usually obscured by an overgrown churchyard. In 1866 the Lincoln Diocesan Architectural Society described the old church as "miserable in character", prompting Rev.Robert William Otter (Rector of Aisthorpe 1850-1875) to commission and pay for a new St.Peter's church. The church was rebuilt by architect Thomas Chambers Hine of Nottingham in a neo-Early English style and completed by 1868. St.Peter's church was grade II listed in November 1966. It has been closed for many years due to structural safety concerns.

In Cammeringham churchyard

A damp Sunday morning in June.

Cammeringham parish church

St Michael's Church was once much larger - "now no more than a nave with a bellcote and chancel" (Nikolaus Pevsner and John Harris). The lights were on inside for morning service on a drab Sunday in June.

This was once a much larger church, and the arcades of a former aisle show in the north wall (left). Colours were muted on a damp morning in June.

Looking towards Lincoln on the B1398. The postbox is let into the Manor House's fine fine drystone wall. This was another disappointingly drab day in June 2016.
