Kelly's Directory 1930 reports :-

"The church of All Hallows, standing upon an eminence, was entirely rebuilt and refitted in 1862 by the Hon. and Rev. George Wingfield Bourke M.A. then rector, under the superintendence of the late Mr. J. Fowler, architect, of Louth, and is a small edifice of stone and brick, in the Early English style, consisting of apsidal chancel, nave, south porch, vestry and an octagonal western turret, surmounted by an elegant spirelet and containing one bell:

the stained triplet of lancet windows at the west end was presented by Mrs. Turner, of Nettleton rectory, near Caistor; this was restored in 1924 as an additional memorial to the late Richard Caldicott Wright; there are others presented by the Wright family, and one erected in 1897 to the Rev. C. B. Jackson M.A. rector here 1875-96:

a new organ was presented by Mrs. Wright in 1898:

the font, a 14th century work, has a mutilated inscription to John Curteys and his wife, the probable donors; there is also a 13th century double piscina :

the total cost of the rebuilding &c. was £1,076, and the church was reconsecrated on All Saints' Day (Nov. 1), 1862, by the Archbishop of Canterbury :

in 1908 the chancel was redecorated and furnished with oak seats, and in the same year a churchyard cross was erected by members of the Wright family :

a rood beam with figures was presented in 1928 by the Wright family in memory of Mrs. Eliza Walton Wright, who died in 1927 :

there are 128 sittings"
