                    St Clement, Fiskerton, Lincolnshire

                    Fiskerton

                    St Clement, Fiskerton, Lincolnshire

                    Parish church
                    Fiskerton is a village in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, 4 miles E of the centre of Lincoln on the N bank if the River Witham. The church is on the S side of the High Street and is an imposing and confusing building. At the W end is a round tower, rare in Lincolnshire and disguised by a 14thc remodelling involving ashlar cladding, massive buttresses and an additional bell storey. The nave has N and S aisles and there is a rectangular chancel with N and S chapels. Much of this dates from the thirteenth century, and parts of the chancel and S aisle were reconstructed by Ewan Christian in 1863. The N nave arcade, the N chapel arcade, the scallop frieze in the S chapel, and fragments of capitals built into the E wall of the N aisle and the S chapel arch are Romanesque.

                    Parish church
                    Of the aisleless, cruciform church, the upper part of the tower survives with its four (reduced) internal openings and Romanesque windows. Aisles were added to the nave c.1200 both N and S, but the former was later dismantled. The chancel was remodelled in the 13thc and again in 1835. The only Romanesque sculpture at the site is the loose voussoir recorded here, seen in 1984.

                    St Clement, Rowston, Lincolnshire

                    Parish church
                    Rowston is a village about six miles N of Sleaford. The church lies at the centre of the village and is of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings. The building consists of a chancel, a nave and a four-bay N arcade, a Perpendicular clerestory, a N vestry and a W tower. The church was restored in 1904. Romanesque sculpture survives on the N doorway, on the tympanum reset in an interior wall of the W tower, and, finally, in a reset chip-carved fragment with saltire crosses in the exterior wall of the chancel.
