"Croxton Kerrial is seven miles south west of Grantham, just over the border in to Leicestershire, and on the way towards Melton Mowbray. The church is set back from the busy main road that runs through the village and the church grounds here are quiet and peaceful.
The church is of an unusual design. The tower is central, but there are no transepts. Instead, a south aisle runs to the eastern edge of the tower. A clerestory of just three windows runs from the western edge of the structure to the inner edge of the tower. A clock can be seen on the south face of the tower. Entrance in to the church is through a humility door, This is a door that is cut very low, so that all who enter in to the church and in to the presence of God must bow down."
