[2] The majority of the mediaeval coloured glass was bought by the Earl of Exeter from the Church of the Holy Trinity at Tattershall in 1754.

During the nineteenth century the church also received a new nave roof, a lowered floor, new bells and in 1890 a new organ.

[4] Later additions in 1920-30s include a new screen and pulpit with carvings by Mahomet Thomas Phillips[5] while working at Bowman & Sons.
