Wold Newton Church ~ History ~ Invading Danes !
All Hallows, or All Saints, Church in Wold Newton is a beautiful building in a lovely Lincolnshire Wolds setting.
It also has a past which stretches back many years
All Hallows is a fairly remote Wolds church which is beautifully located and clearly well cared for and tended.
It is a relatively modern rebuild, carried out by James Fowler in 1862.
The church has a much earlier past though and the original building which stood on the site was sacked by the Danes. There were also 20 ancient burial urns found in a tumulus in the 1800s.
There is little left after the 1862 rebuild although there are a few ancient bits such as Norman brackets, a few 13th century pieces of carving including a Norman capital ( carving the decorates the top of a pillar or column) which was originally in Bardney Abbey !
The font is 14th century and is inscribed with a prayer to John and Johanna Curtys who originally donated it to the church
