Church of St John the Baptist, Church Lane, Muston, Bottesford - Melton

Church, C13 nave and aisles, C14 tower and chancel. Restored 1875-6 by C Kirk. A Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund grant was accepted in May 2015 and the nave, chancel, south aisle and south porch roofs have been repaired. Rainwater goods have also been renewed, however there is no adequate drainage and there are issues of damp. Works to the south porch roof were completed in Spring 2020. Repointing is still required to the ironstone tower and there is poor cementitious pointing to walls elsewhere.
