This timber and corrugated iron building, costing £95, was erected in 1888 on the site of the medieval church which dated from the thirteenth century and was demolished in 1660.

The building was demolished at about the turn of the 21st century. It had served as a mortuary chapel in the last few years of its existence.

The church of St Nicholas in Addlethorpe is a fine example of the fifteenth-century Perpendicular style.

It lost its chancel at much the same time as its neighbour in Ingoldmells and for the same reason – the incumbent wouldn’t go to the trouble and expense of repair.

The medieval screens earned the church its place in Simon Jenkins’ England’s Thousand Best Churches. Not easy to gain access though.

This is Heighington's Chapel of Ease before 1863 when it still served as the Boys’ School for local villages.

The Rector feared that it might be mistaken for a Methodist Chapel, at a time when these brick chapels were appearing widely in Lincolnshire, so he had it faced in stone.

He also fitted the building with pews and enhanced it with an east window of stained glass.

Two school rooms for the boys were built on the north side with a connecting door into the Chapel so that the right to the Charity Fund for the boys to be taught in the Chapel of Ease was retained.

The building existed in 1500 and probably long before and was originally thatched. It is still used as Heighington’s Church.

The painting is signed Nina Rice 1915. It would seem to be a copy of the drawing by Nattes in the collection at County Archives on which it has been noted that the building was demolished in 1860. The building shown stood a considerable distance south-west from the present church and its churchyard is accessible with permission from the farmer who owns the surrounding land.
