All Saints Church Gainsborough

Last week I walked around our old church as darkness fell and I was mesmerised by the surounding colours ahead of the Mayflower event.

The earliest record of a church in Gainsborough was by the Knights Templar in 1209.

In 1540, it was recorded that there was an old "chapel of stone" where many Danes were buried.

Except for the 14th century tower, the old chapel was taken down between 1736 and 1748 to be rebuilt in a more modern style and was dedicated to "All Saints".

Architecture was by Francis Smith of Warwick.

In 1864 the church was remodelled and restored as it stands today.
