Lady Ripon
In 1862 the Countess pulled down the eighteenth century church of St Peter, which had had so short and troubled a career.
The Countess went on to build the present fine church of All Saints in memory of her husband. This church was designed by Sir Gilbert Scott and is one of the finest modern churches in Lincolnshire. It was consecrated by Bishop Jackson on December 16th 1862.
