Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire 1876 mentions two public houses the Waggon & Horses and Red Lion.

The former Waggon & Horses is further along Main Street so maybe the Red Lion has been renamed?

William Kirk landlord of the Red Lion in 1876 was also a shoe maker.

Former school now a private house.

"A school in the parish was united with the National Society in 1837, and a new school was built in 1869.

It had become a primary school by 1953.

The school was closed on 18 July 1972, with the children transferred to the Grantham National School and Heydour CE School (re-named Heydour and Welby CE School)"

The three architectural styles of the church are clearly seen: the Early English tower, the Perpendicular nave, and the chancel built in Early English style by J H Hakewill in 1873.

Pevsner simply describes this door at the south entrance as 'traceried'. It is clearly in Perpendicular style.

Does it date from the fifteenth century or from Hakewill's restoration of 1873? Its condition suggests the latter.
