St Margaret's Church,  Laceby

Church Lane, Laceby. 
Laceby lies at the juncion of the A46 and A18, approached from Grimsby by turning right off the A46 before reaching Laceby Crossroads.  The church is in the village centre, near the market place.

Records show that a church and a rector have been at Laceby since 1172.  The lower part of the tower dates from this period, and carries a ring of five bells.  19th century restoration and additions were made by James Fowler.  John Whitgift, Archbishop of Canerbury in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I , was rector from 1572 - 77 and also Dean of Lincoln Catherdral.  He is commemorated in stained-glass windows in the vestry and chancel.

Open: By Arrangement.
