All Hallows Church
The church is recorded as being St Nicholas until late Victorian times, when the name changed to All Hallows. It was mainly rebuilt in 1869, and an earlier stone coffin lid can be seen in the outside wall, although the tower dates from the 13th century. It suffered minor damage in a whirlwind which hit South and North Kelsey in the 1930s.
Facing the church is the grade II listed Church Farm. The central portion of this house dates from the Elizabethan era, with later Georgian additions, including larger windows. The south wall of the house is constructed in the same manner as the church tower, and is thought to similarly date to the 13th century.
