Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire 1919 states "Here is a General Baptist chapel, founded in 1681, and rebuilt in 1876"

The chapel is on the right in this image with the schoolroom building on the left.

A matching exterior front was constructed to the schoolroom which is of earlier date.

"The 120 feet (37 m) church tower with spire is detached from the nave by 15 feet (4.6 m).

The fabric is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window.

According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.

In 1964 Pevsner noted 1798 repairs and considered the church "over-restored""

"The church of St. Mary Magdalen is an ancient edifice of stone in the Early English, Early and Late Decorated, and Perpendicular styles, consisting of chancel, nave of five bays, aisles, south porch and a detached south-west tower with embattled parapet and pinnacles, a polygonal staircase turret, and a spire with three tiers of pierced quatrefoils on its alternate faces the whole height being about 120 feet; the tower contains 6 bells and a clock added in 1911:

there is a font and a fine west window, both of the Perpendicular date:

the chancel retains a piscina and sedilia in the Early Decorated style (1245-1315):

during the years 1860-2, the chancel was entirely rebuilt, the nave roof renewed at a cost of over £1,000, and the interior reseated, under the direction of Mr. C.Bennett, architect, of Lynn:

the south aisle was restored in 1899 at a cost of about £360, and in 1900 the roof and interior were again restored at a cost of £3,000: in 1911 the interior of the cgurch was restored and a new pulpit, choir stalls and altar rails provided in memory of the Rev. Canon W. H. James M.A. rector 1874-1910:

White's Directory 1856 states :-

"The Church (St. Mary Magdalen) is an ancient structure, remarkable for its tower, which is separated from it four yards, has six bells, and is surmounted by a spire.

The Rectory, valued in K.B at £15, and now at £1057, is in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. James Jerram M.A., who has a good Rectory House, erected in 1855.

A rent-charge in lieu of tithes in this parish, was confirmed by the Tithe Commissioners Dec. 9th, 1840.
