Benchmark - All Saints - Swinderby, Lincolnshire - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

A cut benchmark on north east corner east face of All Saints' church.

"The first church at Swinderby was probably built during the Anglo Saxon period. Prior to this there may have been a preaching cross and services would have taken place in the open air. It is impossible to be totally accurate regarding the development of the early stone building. However, evidence would suggest that the tower was probably free standing and dates from 1066-1200 as do the Norman arches and south wall.
An extension to the church was the north aisle built during Norman times (1066- 1200). The original north wall was replaced with the Norman arches that can still be seen today. The tower was probably fully integrated into the main body of the church in the 13th century as can be evidenced by the pointed tower arch."
