Kelly's Directory 1930 states :-

"The church of All Saints is an ancient building of stone in the Norman, Transitional and Late Decorated styles, consisting of chancel with north chapel, nave, north aisle and an embattled western tower with four pinnacles containing 2 bells :

the church is chiefly interesting on account of its examples of Norman work, including the chancel arch, of three orders, and two arches in the nave springing from circular piers, with a shallow base ; no foundations were made for this church as it was built on the site and with the materials of a ruined Roman villa, all the walls being raised on the tesselated floors of this villa, which were then intact, but which during the Middle Ages were broken up for burials in the church:

in the church are numerous monuments to the Sibthorp family from 1788 to 1865:

the west end of the church was restored in 1846:

there are 150 sittings"

Canwick, Canwick Hall Sewage Treatment Plant

A small sewage treatment plant was installed at Canwick Hall by William E Farrer of Birmingham shortly before the First World War.

It was located to the north of the Hall where the natural fall in the land aided the flow of sewage through the plant.

Most elements of the works, which lie on private land, have survived but their use has been superseded by a modern sewerage system in the village.

"Within the grounds of the International Bomber Command Centre the Spire Memorial was erected on 10 May 2015.

The memorial is a spire, reflecting the connection to Lincoln Cathedral.

Created out of Corten A weathering steel, it is based on the dimensions of the wingspan of a Lancaster bomber, being 102 ft (31.09 m) high and 16 ft (5 m) at the base.

The Spire was officially unveiled in October 2015 to an audience of 3,600 guests including 312 Bomber veterans"
