As you enter the church stop before the font and look up into the bell tower which supports the 160 feet spire. This area dates from c1380 and replaced the tower originally built with the 12th century church. The new tower and western entrance was erected more to the west and on new foundations.
Above the font is evidence of rough stonework which shows the position of the original tower. This had started to collapse. The Bishop of Lincoln suspended the charter that granted the holding of a market in Moulton until such time that the parish paid for the failing tower to be pulled down and a new one built.
