Arthur Mee states :-

"No other church in England is dedicated to the Saxon saint Adelwold (or Ethelwald), who became Bishop of Lindisfarne.

He was a monk at Ripon before he went to live a solitary life where St Cuthbert had lived, in a cell on the island of Farne.

There he spent 12 years, and once, the venerable Bede relates, calmed a storm which was threatening some of his visitors.

He was laid to rest beside St Cuthbert at Lindisfarne"

C13 triple lancet window with early C20 stained glass. From a Lincolnshire Chronicle article dated May 6th, 1911:-

"Preaching at Coleby on Tuesday, May 2nd, on the occasion of the dedication of the new east window, the Bishop of Grantham congratulated the Vicar and parishioners on the very real improvement they had been able to make in the appearance of their ancient and beautiful parish church.

The window to which his lordship referred is in the form of three long and narrow Early English lancets, which are somewhat difficult to treat satisfactorily.

Messrs. Burlison and Grylls, of London, to whom the design and execution of the work was entrusted, have, however, produced a result which has given entire satisfaction to all concerned.

The church is dedicated to All Saints, and this has been kept in mind in the selection of the subjects.

Two tiers of figures fill-up the greater part of the three lights. The centre of the upper tier is filled with a Crucifixion with the legend "King of Saints." On either side are "the Mother of Jesus" and "the disciple whom Jesus loved.

In the lower tier there are St. Hugh of Lincoln, St. Barbara, and St. Thomas de Cantilupe.

St. Barbara was chosen because the advowson of the living, down to the year 1327 belonged to the Canons of St. Barbara, while St. Thomas de Cantilupe was rector of Coleby 1265-1275, before he went to Hereford as bishop.

At the foot of each light is a coat of arms on the left those of the reputed founder of the church, Ralph, Camerarius de Tanquarvilla; in the centre those of Oriel College, Oxford, to whom the patronage passed in 1327; and on the right those of the present Vicar and his wife.

Between the upper and lower tiers there are introduced the concluding words of the Epistle for All Saints' Day: " Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen"; while at the foot are inscribed the words from the prayer for the Church Militant: " We bless Thy Holy Name for all Thy servants departed this life in Thy faith and fear." 

It has taken nearly two years to raise the money for the window, and the subscribers fall naturally into three groups: (1) parishioners, past and present; (2) members of Oriel College; and (3) friends and relations of four successive vicars, Mr. Penrose, Canon Tweed, Mr. Curtoys and Mr. King; and it is much to be regretted that Canon Tweed did not live to see the work completed. Not only was he the largest individual subscriber, but the energy and enthusiasm which he threw into the task of helping the present Vicar to collect the necessary subscriptions was simply invaluable.

The dedication was timed for four o'clock, and the church was nearly full, in spite of the unfavourable weather. Evensong was sung by the Vicar, who also read the lessons.

The choir, though several members were unavoidably absent, did their part admirably, and the Bishop was kind enough to say that he was specially pleased with the chanting ..."

Pevsner, in his guide, describes the 1862 window as "pictorial and terrible" and attributes it to Wailes, a famous craftsman of the period. However, Lawrence Bond is of the opinion that the 1852 window looks more like Wailes' work.

The North panel of the East Window was badly damaged during two burglaries which took place in 1993, approximately two-thirds of this part of the window having to be replaced. The restoration being carried out by David J. B. Sear of the Lincolnshire Stained Glass Studio"

Flinders made three voyages to the southern ocean between 1791 and 1810. In the second voyage, George Bass and Flinders confirmed that Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) was an island"

Oyler window detail.

This window depicts birds and animals and, from the signature, appears to be designed by H W Harvey of York.

The window commemorates Gertrude Mary Blanche the only child of Fotherby farmer Daniel Allenby who died aged 26 in 1871. Gertrude married George Oyler, a farmer’s son of independent means, at Louth in 1893. They lived in Worcestershire where they had the three daughters mentioned: Veronica Blanche Allenby; Judith Audrey Allenby; and Phyllis Eileen Marion. The second, Judith, is an accomplished watercolourist. Gertrude died in Newton Abbot, Devon where she moved after her husband’s death in 1931. She is buried in Fotherby.

The east window relates to the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary to whom the church is dedicated. She is shown holding the Christ child and the outer panels depict the Madonna lily with which she is associated.

The church was largely paid for by Thomas Arthur Young of Kingerby Manor near Market Rasen and it is believed that elements of the window design are based on an ancient family design in his home.

The ornate reredos of Caen stone and alabaster inlaid with marble and gilded mosaic work may be designed by James Fowler.

The east window had wholly clear glazing until ten panels of 18th century German glass were brought to Normanby from the redundant church of St Andrew at Panton.

Eight of them are arranged here, each one showing a scene from the life of Christ.

This window in the south aisle commemorates ‘George Leonard Francis who died March 3rd 1932 aged 82. He worshipped in this church for 41 years, 33 as churchwarden’.

The design shows St Paul, Christ and St Peter above the arms of the Diocese of Lincoln (left) and the See of Canterbury (right). It is signed by Jones & Willis, manufacturers of church furnishings who began to supply stained glass from about 1880.

Some of their other stained glass designs can be seen at:

This is one of ten panels of German glass brought to Normanby from the redundant church of St Andrew at Panton.

It shows a very traditional depiction of the Annunciation with St Gabriel on the left and the Virgin Mary kneeling at a desk holding her prayer book with a madonna lily in the centre.

It has been placed with the words AVE GRATIA PLENA, which means ‘full of grace’, backwards, but perhaps it can be read from outside when the church is lit for evensong.

Vedast (died c. 540) was an early bishop in the Frankish realm.

He was venerated in Belgium as well as England (from the 10th century) where he was known as Saint Foster.

The spread of his cult was aided by the presence of Augustinians from Arras in England in the 12th century.

Three ancient churches in England (in London (St Vedast Foster Lane), Norwich and Tathwell) were dedicated to him.

His feast is on 6 February.

Kelly's Directory 1913 records "the greater part of the ancient stained glass, representing sacred subjects, figures of saints, besides many shields of arms borne by the Cromwells, was removed in 1754 to the church of St. Martin, Stamford Baron; the remainder, collected together, is now in the east window"
