These highly decorated gates (regrettably in a poor state and target of recent graffiti) were bought by John Hood from St. Peter at Arches church, High Street, Lincoln prior to its demolition in 1856.

They date from about 1720 and were designed by Francis or William Smith.
The piers and wall were added about 1890.

The gates became the grand entrance to Hood's residence, Nettleham Hall, which burnt down in 1935.

There are small elements of Saxon and Norman work in the church, but it is principally Early English, thirteenth centruy, with a Perpendicular clerestory.

In the churchyard of All Saints, Nettleham, close to the wall by the Beck, is this badly worn gravestone.

It is has a carved angel head and reads "Tho. Gardiner Post Boy of Lincoln Barbarously Murdered by Isaac Tho. Hallay Jan 3 1732 aged 19".

This was not the only murder committed by the Hallay brothers. They were duly executed for their crimes.
