Halton Holegate

St Andrew's Church, Main Road, Little Steeping Grade II* Listed parish church from mid 14th century with renovations and alterations in the 15th century, 1638 and 1701. Restored 19th and 20th century. The tower is 15th century, patched up with brick in the 18th century. It was built by the then priest Thomas de Redying between 1318 and 1353 and replaced an Anglo Saxon church reputedly under the supervision of Bishop Chad, who was later canonised. In 1606 Revd Stubbs was prosecuted by his parishioners when the roof and walls of the chancel collapsed. In 1635 the nave roof needed restoration and the new timbers used lasted well into the 20th century. The external nave wall has a datestone of 1638 thought to be the date of extensive restoration of the church, including use of red brick.  Almost in ruin, Revd Edward Steer became rector in 1859 and with the village carpenter carried out repairs. Then in 1912 his ideas, stored in the parish chest, were used for a complete renovation. It has 3 bells, 15th century by Robert Merston, by Henry Oldfield 1594 and by John Taylor 1874.

Former station buildings, 60 Station Road, Halton Holegate Spilsby & Firsby Railway Company obtained parliamentary permission in 1865 and consequently opened a four mile branch line to Spilsby on 1st May 1868. Halton Holegate was the only intermediate station on the short branch line and never generated much revenue. Operated by them, Great Northern Railway bought out the Spilsby & Firsby Railway Company and ran it from 1st January 1891. The station had a station master's residence, a booking office, a small waiting room, single platform, a loop line with cattle pen and goods shed. Passenger services were suspended for WWII on 10th September 1939 and never resumed but goods continued and finally stopped on 30th November 1958 because the bridge over Steeping River needed a £20k replacement. The Station building was extended and is now a 3 reception 5 bedroom, 2,319 sq ft (216 sq m) home. The goods shed is now 521 sq ft (48 sq m) stables and tack room.
