The Wesleyan Methodists built this chapel on Sutton Road in 1857. A Sunday school was added in matching style a few years later (to the left in the photo).

In the recent past the building has suffered structural problems and it is no longer in use. The local Methodist community now hold services in the village hall.

The school was built as a National School in 1840 and enlarged in 1874. It was known as Huttoft CE School by 1914.

The school was transferred to Lindsey County Council as Huttoft Council School c.1922, and became Huttoft County Primary School in 1947.

More recently it became a Grant Maintained School, known as Huttoft Primary (GM) School, and has been known by its present name since September 1999.

The subject of Sir John Betjeman’s poem ‘A Lincolnshire Church’, St Margaret’s, Huttoft, is a greenstone building with thirteenth-century tower and chancel arch, a Decorated arcade and Perpendicular aisles.

The chancel is eighteenth-century though its windows are Victorian.

Betjeman was surprised to find the church open to visitors – no such luck today.

The arcades are much later than most of the church exterior, 15th century rather than 13th.

The mill was severly damaged in a gale in 1945 and afterwards, for several years, an engine was employed.
