St Martin's Church, Owston Ferry, Lincolnshire
The earliest reference to a church in Owston Ferry is circa 1150 CE. As none of the present fabric dates before 1280, there must have been an earlier building on the site. The site itself is within the inner bailey of the "Motte and Bailey" castle which formerly stood there.
A triple archway was built in 1859 at the entrance to the avenue of trees leading to the church. The Lychgate at the entrance to the churchyard was erected in 1911 and has a memorial inscription.
Within the churchyard on the right hand side look for the headstone of Anne Keet. You can read her story and find out more about the church in the Notes For Visitors booklet available in the church compiled by Rev. A J Rhodes.
