Description

The village of Toynton All Saints and its neighbours, Toynton St Peter and Toynton Fen side are in the East Lindsey district of the county, approximately 9Miles SE of Horncastle and 11 miles W of the coast at Skegness. Toynton All Saints is a long village extending for a mile from N to S with the church at its centre on the E side of the main street. It is medieval at its core but was encased in red brick in the 18thc and appears Georgian from the exterior. It consists of a W tower, a nave and chancel, to which a vestry was added in the 19thc. Nave aisles have been removed but the blocked arcades remain encased in plaster; four late-12thc bays of the N arcade and three 13thc bays of the S. The 12thc N nave arcade is the only feature described here.

History

Toynton All Saints and Toynton St Peter are not distinguished in the Domesday Survey. The chief manor was held by Ivo Taillebois and was assessed at 3 carucates with a church, 30 acres of meadow and 5½ acres of scrubland. The Bishop of Durham had a smaller holding of 2 bovates.

Comments/Opinions

The plaster encasing much of the N arcade probably dates from the Georgian rebuilding. The pointed arches suggest a late 12thc. date for the arcade.
