The Church was consecrated on 23rd November 1869, the Chancel and Burial Ground were consecrated on 1st March 1871.

The building was designed by Mr Evan Christian a London architect.
The roof of the Nave was the old wooden roof from the chancel of Holbeach Church and was purchased for £70. The Church bell was cast by Taylor of Loughborough for £23.Click on picture to enlarge

Hi Andrew, I am carrying out some research on Moira Forsyth – is it possible to purchase a copy of your excellent photos of the stained glass windows at Holbeach Hurn. I am possibly doing a webinar later in the year for the British Soc of Master Glass Painters.
I think I took the photo and I am very happy for you to use it. The website is a public library. Just a link to source.
Regards
Geoff
