The village of Gedney Hill grew up in the 1200’s, and history books tell us the first church was built in 1375.
In the church there is a nave, chancel, vestry, South porch and a tower that is 52 feet high. In the church there are eight wooden posts supporting the nave arcades, and the posts have limestone bases. The Church is built in the shape of a cross, and the tower holds five bells.m
Gedney Hill’s Grade 2 listed parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and can seat 300 people.
Dating from the late 14th century, it was heavily restored in 1874-75 by James Fowler of Louth, which included the entire rebuilding of the outer walls. The arcades are supported by octagonal oak piers, and the roof by Perpendicular style tie-beams. The stained glass east window is by Ward and Hughes.
The church is unusual for Lincolnshire for its internal timber frame and fine timber nave arcades
At the south of the churchyard, which also contains war graves of two airmen of the Second World War, is a listed 15th-century cross, restored in 1918. Click on photo below to enlarge.
