St George's Church, Goltho

A Tudor chapel by a lost village

The charming red-brick chapel of St George stands alone amid acres of corn and oilseed rape with only a few trees for company. It is situated beside one of Lincolnshire's lost villages - an old Saxon settlement long since buried. The name 'Goltho' is said to be Saxon for 'where the marigolds grow'.

Inside, it previously boasted an atmosphere of calm and simplicity, with rustic wooden pews, an altar screen and a simple two-decker pulpit. Sadly however, the chapel was the victim of a heart-breaking fire in 2013 and currently remains closed.
