Restored in 1919 as a war memorial - dedication and names recorded on alabaster tablets in the church. 

"The base of the cross, which is largely medieval, includes three steps of square plan now supported by a shallow concrete plinth.

Resting on the top step is the socket stone, a single block, square in section at the base, with moulded and chamfered corners rising to a top of octagonal section.

Fixed into the socket stone are the remains of the medieval shaft, rectangular in section at the base and rising above moulded and chamfered corners in tapering octagonal section to a height of 1.29m.

Set onto the top of this fragment is a modern shaft with an integral cross head, which takes the form of a gabled cross with a carving of the Crucifixion on the west face"

Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire 1919 states :-

"The lych gate, of carved oak on a stone base, designed by Mr. Hodgson Fowler, was erected by the tenantry on the Revesby estate, in memory of the Right Hon. E. Stanhope" 

DB 16 February 2019

The lychgate was constructed in "AD1930".

The timber work is typical of many church lychgates with pierced trefoils and other Gothic decoration.

By contrast, the sturdy lower panels in cast concrete are in the Art Deco style of the 1930s.

The handgate seems to be much more modern and is out of keeping with the rest of the structure.

A former gas lamp has been erected alongside the church path and converted to electricity. 

The most likely origin of this attractive (though badly decorated) lamp standard is a local town such as Louth or Mablethorpe when gas lamps were removed and replaced by modern electric street lighting.

"IN LOVING MEMORY OF CHARLES WILLIAM TINDALL AGENT FOR THE BETHLEM ESTATES & CHURCHWARDEN OF ST. MARY'S 1896 - 1920" 

He is listed as a private resident in Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire 1909 "Tindall Chas.Wm. J.P. Wainfleet hall"

Owner of "Tug-of-War" a stallion used for breeding purposes - see entry for Eastville farm stock auction.

Local signage near the lych gate states :-

"An impressive survivor of a deserted medieval settlement and lovingly restored in the late 19th century, this church has served this scattered community for about nine hundred years.

The tower with its peal of six bells has a Norman base, heightened in Perpendicular style.

The west door, lancet windows and blank arcading are Early English.

An impressive Rood Screen fills the Chancel Arch.

The Barkham family followed by The Bethlem Hospital were one time patrons and local land owners.

Enter the churchyard by the lych gate and experience its unique peace and tranquillity"
