All Saints, Ingham

All Saints Church in Ingham is a 14th-century stone building that sits quietly in this small Lincolnshire village, about eight miles north of Lincoln. It's a proper medieval church - the kind with soaring windows, intricate tracery, and that particular smell of old stone and hymn books that you either love or find a bit melancholy.

Inside, the chancel is what catches your eye first. There's some decent stained glass, carved choir stalls from the 1400s, and monuments to various local worthies who clearly thought they'd made it in life. The roof is worth a look too if you crane your neck - you'll spot original medieval timberwork alongside later repairs.

This isn't a church to spend hours in unless you're genuinely into medieval architecture or brass rubbings. Most people will get what they came for in 30 to 45 minutes. It works best as a stop on a wider Lincolnshire church crawl rather than a destination in itself. History enthusiasts and architects will find legitimate reasons to visit. Families with young kids might find it a bit dull unless they're the type to get excited about centuries-old carvings.

If you're based at Lincolnshire Lanes, the glamping site three or so miles away, this makes an easy half-hour drive. The village itself is rural and quiet - no shops, no café - so plan accordingly. Admission details weren't readily available when researching, so ring ahead if you're planning a special trip.
