Churches
Saint Peters church was built in 1893 although it was not until 1915 that it was legally designated the parish church. Until then the little church of Saint Andrews, built in 1846, was the parish church, but was too small for the rapidly growing town. Woodhall Spa is part of a group of six Anglican parishes comprising: Woodhall Spa and Kirkstead, Stixwould, Horsington, Langton with Old Woodhall, and Bucknall with Tupholme.
The Church of Our Lady and Saint Peter, built in 1893, is Woodhall Spa's Roman Catholic church.
