Sivil’s Mill of High Mill at Hogsthorpe, which stood in Mill Lane, lost its cap and sails in a severe gale in January 1881.

It was repaired by Saunderson, millwrights of Louth, and also heightened by one storey, not an uncommon occurrence.

A patchwork of greenstone and brick, St Mary’s in Hogsthorpe is largely Early English in style with a chancel of 1870.

The top of the tower is Perpendicular. Inside can be found a Perpendicular font and Georgian pulpit.

The church is open during the day.
