Visitors book in All Saints' church, Coleby.

The church has been a place of Christian Worship for over 1000 years, although not in its current form being rebuilt and extended over sucessive centuries. The Saxon tower reaches to just below the clock, whilst the Norman portion extends to 2 courses below the gargoyles, and includes the window behind the clock. The spire is of the Perpendicular period - quite an achievement as it was added to a 400 year old tower never intended to take the weight of a spire.

"Coleby Grade I listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to All Saints. The original church was built by the Anglo-Saxons, extended by the Normans and had a new spire built on top of the Saxon tower in the Middle Ages. There is a lack of symmetry to the chancel, the arches on the north and south walls do not match and half of an arch has been stopped off. The pews inside the church are not original, they come from a former church at Hackthorn, a village about 14 miles (23 km) to the north, as do two of the windows in the north aisle. The church was extensively restored in 1900. On the church steeple are landing lights for the nearby RAF Waddington airbase."
