The church of All Saints in Moulton has a fine four stage Perpendicular tower with spire, 165 ft high.

Inside are late-twelfth century arcades and an Early English clerestory, but many of the windows date from Victorian improvements.

The chancel has a simple Early English sedilia and a plain fourteenth century easter sepulchre.

Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire 1919 states :-

"The church of All Saints is an exceedingly fine building of stone in the Transitional, Early English, Early and Late Decorated and Perpendicular styles, consisting of chancel, clerestoried nave of six bays, aisles, south porch and an embattled western tower with spire containing a clock and 6 bells, and a chiming apparatus, added in 1888:

the old bells were recast and the sixth added in 1911 at a cost of £120:

the nave is Late Transitional work, and its pier capitals afford a most valuable series of examples of the carved foliage of this particular date; the clerestory has a continuous external arcade, similar to that of Whaplode, but the finest and most striking feature of the church is its exceptionally well proportioned and elegant tower and spire, which is unsurpassed by any in the kingdom :

the tower is of four stages, supported at the angles by double canopied buttresses rising into panelled and crocketed pinnacles; the parapet is embattled and from within it springs a light octagonal ribbed and crocketed spire, with three tiers of louvre lights placed alternately; small flying buttresses connect the pinnacles with the spire:

there are memorials to Robert Heath, vicar, ob. 1665; Philip Tallents, vicar, ob. 1704; and the Rev. Samuel Elsdale M.A. d. 1827:

the stained east window is a memorial to the Rev. John Russell Jackson M.A. vicar here 1866-1900:

the church was restored in I867, both externally and internally, at a cost of £3,500, and the tower and spire in 1903, at a cost of £350:

in 1888 the organ was enlarged and renovated"

"Moulton Grammar School was founded through an endowment given in the will of John Harrox (died 1561) who was steward to Sir John Harrington of Weston.

The School opened in 1562 with ten pupils and continued to educate boys until 1939 when it merged with Spalding Grammar School.

Some school buildings still exist but are now private residences"

This photograph shows, to the right, the great spur wheel and one of the smaller stone nuts.

When these two gears are engaged the vertical shaft through the stone nut rotates one of the millstones below and grain is ground into flour or animal feed.
