St John The Baptist Church, Buckminster, Lincolnshire

St John The Baptist Church, Buckminster, Lincolnshire

St John the Baptist church was mostly built between 1250 and 1350, of limestone.

Unusually, the tower and broach spire are above the eastern end of the south aisle. The exterior of the church is richly decorated with carvings, which include faces on the pinnacles and a carved frieze.

Inside are carved corbels and an unusual turret containing a newel-staircase at the south-east corner of the nave, which would have led to the rood loft, and still provides access to the bells.

Buckminster is a village and civil parish on the border of the county.
