St John

The Church of St John sits quietly in Spalding, a solid medieval structure that rewards a proper look if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks. Built largely in the 15th century, it's got the kind of proportions that make you realise how seriously people took their parish churches back then - all soaring arches and decent stonework. Inside, there's decent tracery in the windows and the usual accumulated bits of local history carved into tombs and brasses.

You'll get the most from it if you're into church architecture or curious about medieval Lincolnshire. Kids won't spend long here unless they're already interested in that sort of thing. The real draw for most visitors staying at Laurel Park or Delph Bank will be combining it with a wander through Spalding itself - the town's got the River Welland running through it, which is pleasant enough for an afternoon ramble.

It's the kind of stop that takes twenty minutes if you're keen, ten if you're not. Free to enter, naturally. Best visited on a dry day because the interior can feel a bit cool and damp. If you're based at The Lawns or another local campsite and fancy a proper morning out, pair it with Spalding's Saturday market - that's where the place actually comes alive. The church is less about being a destination and more about being part of the fabric of a market town break.
