St Mary's Church, North Cockerington

St Mary's Church combines greenstone, ironstone, and limestone construction with a nave, south aisle, chancel, and southwest tower featuring lancet windows.

The church structure dates back to 1050 and later served as a chapel for the Gilbertine Alvingham Priory until the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

The interior preserves painted inscriptions above the arcade and chancel arch, along with an octagonal font from the 13th century.

The church building stands approximately one mile from its parish and shares its churchyard with the parish church of Alvingham.

The stone coffin from the 14th century within the church contains the carved representation of a medieval knight.
