All Saints, Sinnington

The exterior walls are mostly early 12th century. The south door is a little later, and the porch latter than the door. Externally little has changed since, although a number of windows were added in the 17th century and the outer arch on the porch was added in the 18th century
The church was probably built on the site of a pre-conquest church, as a significant amount of earlier carving can be found built into the structure. There are two cross-heads built into the south wall, a carving of a man riding a beast in the porch and several bases of crosses scattered around. There is also a hog-back tomb built into the northern wall.



Modest but very historic!
