Other Norman features include the main doorway arch inside the porch, a fine crenellated arch opposite the main door, separating the nave from the north aisle, and a window opening with more recent glazing dedicated to St Margaret.

[3] Special services, led by Christopher Wordsworth, the Bishop of Lincoln, were held on 18 May 1870 to commemorate the re-opening of the restored church.

[2][3] The 1885 Kelly's Directory describes St. Margaret's as being built from Ancaster stone in Early English and Perpendicular styles, consisting of a chancel, nave, west porch and an embattled tower with pinnacles and four bells.

At the east end of the nave can be found a floor slab to Ralph Ballel of 1730 with an oval panel with his arms and crest carved in relief.

In 1583 John Whitgift, a former St Margaret's rector from 1572 to 1577 who had become Bishop of Worcester, was appointed as Archbishop of Canterbury by Queen Elizabeth I.

Portraits in the window depict the confirmation of Knight to the living at Laceby in the parish church there by Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln.

Another in the same window shows John Whitgift being confirmed as Dean of Lincoln in 1571, the year before he was appointed to the living at Laceby.
