Sleaford Residences

Grade I listed. The church dates from the late 12th century onwards, although a church was mentioned in the Domesday book. Originally there was a cruciform Norman church, parts of which still remain. The church could have been an ex Anglo-Saxon Minster or new Collegiate foundation. There is a nave with north and south aisles, north and south transepts with crossing tower, chancel and south porch. The west front dates from circa 1170 and was remodelled in the 15th century. The nave was constructed in the first half of the 13th century, the north and south arcades are asymmetrical. There is a set of eight windows in the late 15th century clerestory. There are four-bay arcades, the north on hexagonal piers the south has one round and two quatrefoil piers. The chancel dates from the 12th century, and unusually has a sedilia with a single round arch. The crossing tower was remodelled around 1330, and the tower has battlements and pinnacles and several gargoyles. The arches of the crossing are leaning out of line, and an attempt was made in the 14th century to repair them. This can easily been seen when looking at the nave towards the chancel. The north transept has a 15th century tomb recess with the arms of Sir Thomas La Launde, died 1470. This may also be part of an Easter Sepulchre. The church has several monuments with brass plate designed by Pugin. The octagonal font is from the 15th century and has instruments of the passion on each face. There is a two manual organ by Binns, which was removed from Bailgate Methodist Church, Lincoln. Pic by Jenny

Top Sleaford Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff, clean hotel and good breakfast"

Boston West Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stopped here for one night as a stop off before travelling again the next day. Room was clean and tidy. We ate at the restaurant and the food was spot on. I should have done my research before going as if I knew there was crazy golf there aswell I would have checked in before I did so we could have a game of crazy golf. We would defo stop again."

Damon's Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was fine, great bathroom. All the staff were friendly and polite. When I reached Damon's, the reception member of staff quickly realised I was physically disabled and immediately changed my room for a ground floor room to make things easier for me. I only used the restaurant for breakfast, which offered a really good menu with reasonable prices.I was sorry not to have the time to visit the resaurant for an evening meal. It was highly recommended to me by family members who live in and around Lincoln. I really enjoyed my two night stay and would certainly choose to stay at Damon's again and will certainly reccomend it to friends and family."
