A visitors book in St Guthlac's church, Branston.
"The ancient Parish Church at Branston has a prominent position in the main street and is one of only 9 churches in the country dedicated to Saint Guthlac, an East Anglian Saint. Christian worship has been offered on this site for 1300years, the present church being built of local stone onwards from the 13th c.
The interior of the church is spacious and airy, large enough to accommodate a rare 18th c. Hugh Russell organ built into a western gallery. Amongst other features it has fine Norman arches, a Norman
Font, and a slab tomb to John Spethyn dated from 1460 in the N. Aisle.
Our church is unlocked from dawn to dusk daily and all are welcome to enter."
