St Peter's Church, Humberston

Church Lane, Humberston. 
On the main A1031 Cleethorpes to Mablethorpe road.

Until the dissolution of religious houses under Henry VIII, a Benedictine Abbey occupied the site. The first church buildings arose about 1160AD and were dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and St Peter.
The Benedictine Abbey of Humberston is no more but the church was generously endowed in the 18th century by a London merchant.  Matthew Humberstone, built the present church but sadly died before its completion in 1722. 
Excavation of Humberston Abbey (1965-1970) revealed fragments of medieval painted glass, monks' coffins, bronze buckles and many other items of interest.
The church is largely unchanged and contains fine monuments together with a fine modern organ by Peter Collins installed in 1997.

Open: By Arrangement.
