5. St Guthlac, Fishtoft, Lincolnshire, England

Extant Romanesque features are the priest's doorway, segments of the chancel string course, and numerous re-set stones in the chancel, nave, and aisle walls.

7. St Peter and St Paul, Kirton-in-Holland, Lincolnshire, England

Parish church
A large fenland church which was originally not only larger, but also cruciform in plan with a crossing tower as can be seen in pre-1800 drawings. In 1804-5, the church took on its present form which consists of a six-bay 13thc. nave with side aisles, a 14thc./15thc. clerestory and chancel, and the W tower with flanking N and S bays embracing it. This early 19thc. restoration was done under the direction of William Hayward; at the end of the same century, 1897-1900, C. H. Fowler directed another restoration that focused on the chancel. Surviving from the Romanesque church are the original W doorway of the nave (now within the early 19thc. W tower) and the arch of the S doorway.

12. St Mary, Sutterton, Lincolnshire, England

Parish church
St Mary's is a large cruciform church of the fenland. Like many parish churches, the fabric of Sutterton reveals a long history of transformation and renovation. The chancel and clerestories of the transept, and the N transept, are of the 13thc. though the chancel was restored in 1879 by James Fowler. From the exterior the nave and aisles are of the 14thc./15thc. A major restoration in 1861-63, carried out by Edward Browning, included the rebuilding of the tower, spire, aisle walls, S transept, and chancel. The S porch was added in 1861. The Romanesque survivals here are extensive: the N and S doorways into the nave, portions of the five-bay nave arcade, and the W crossing arch, and the E responds of the S and N crossing arches.
13. St Lawrence, Tallington, Lincolnshire, England

Parish church
The plan of this church is rather odd in that the W tower, 14thc., does not align with the nave arcades, which are primarily of the 13thc. The transepts, based on their windows, are of the 13thc. on the S and of the 14th/early 16thc. on the N, as is the chancel. The S arcade is one bay shorter to the W than the N and in place of this extra bay is a Romanesque S doorway. There are also two reset 12thc. fragments in the E wall of the vestry, one loose fragment in the nave, and a Transitional wall piscina in the chancel.
