All Hallows, Clixby, Lincolnshire.

Grade II* listed.

This little roadside church is the thirteenth-century chancel of a larger church which was a ruin until 1889, when the chancel was gently restored by Charles Hodgson Fowler (1840-1910) and a west porch added.

 

Font from St Peter, Low Toynton, c15. It consists of an octagonal bowl with panels containing carvings of angels, other figures, a Tudor rose, and other flowers. The base is also octagonal, and the stem incorporates carvings of saints.
