South Kyme is a village about 12 miles NW of Boston on the River Slea (also called 'Kyme Eau'). The church lies to the W of the village and the discovery of six fragments dated between the late 8th and the early 9thc, now reset in the E end of the N wall, suggests that the site was previously occupied by an Anglo-Saxon church. The building, as it stands today, is primarily the remains of the 14thc W end of the S aisle and the S part of the nave of the Augustinian priory church. The building was partially rebuilt in 1805 and then extensively restored by Charles Hodgson Fowler in 1888-90. Romanesque sculptural elements consist of the S doorway, three reset capitals and a grave cover.
