All Saints Holbeach POI: Chancel Area

Chancel Gallery

Originally paid for by the Bishops of Lincoln and refurbished extensively from Victorian times onwards. As you enter the area look upwards and admire the Rood-beam put in place as a Memorial to those local people who died in the First World War. Their names, together with those who died in WWII, are on tablets at either side of the Chancel.

The door high in the wall originally led to a Rood Loft and this is where musicians would have played their instruments for services, until the early part of the nineteenth century.
