Church of St Margaret, Church Lane, Thimbleby - East Lindsey

The church is a rebuilding by James Fowler of 1879, of Spilsby sandstone with Ancaster Limestone dressings. The spire and belfry turret stonework has been seriously eroded by migrating salts. The spire was considered unsafe and dismantled in 2014. The turret stonework was in very poor condition. Ground drainage was not functioning and the rainwater disposal system was inadequate. Major repairs, including rebuilding the spire, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund Grants for Places of Worship scheme have been completed. Further repairs are needed.
