# Holy Trinity, Allington

Holy Trinity at West Allington, Lincolnshire, is a Grade II* parish church of about 1150, with later medieval, Georgian brick and early-twentieth-century work, in the Diocese of Lincoln.

## Overview

Historic England describes a parish church of about 1150, with thirteenth-, fifteenth- and sixteenth-century fabric, a late-eighteenth-century brick lengthening, and work of about 1914. Materials are coursed ironstone and limestone rubble, limestone ashlar and red brick, under slate, plain-tile and lead roofs. The west front is early thirteenth century, with a double-opening bell turret. A mid-twelfth-century north arcade of four bays has round piers, double-chamfered round arches with chip-star decoration, and small rosettes in the spandrels.

The chancel is late-eighteenth-century brick with reset medieval windows, including a twelfth-century round-headed light. A fifteenth-century ironstone porch shelters a twelfth-century doorway with scalloped capitals. The late-fifteenth-century octagonal font has panels of heads, flowers and a shield. A seventeenth-century pulpit and gallery survive; the poet George Crabbe was rector from 1790 to 1814. A vestry of about 1914 re-uses fifteenth-century fragments. The church is mentioned in Domesday.
