Monksthorpe Chapel is a secluded late 17th-century Baptist chapel on the Gunby Hall estate. The chapel was built when the persecution of non-Conformists was at a feverish pitch. Worshipping according to Baptist beliefs was no longer a capital offence, but it was still a mighty dangerous business! Non-Conformists could be arbitrarily imprisoned, have their possessions confiscated, and face torture.

The ancient church of St Marys in North Cockerington is situated very oddly, sharing a churchyard with the parish church of Alvingham. I'm not aware of another two parish churches so closely sited.

All Saints in Saltfleetby is a striking church standing amid marshlands. The church is notable for its slender west tower, which leans quite perceptibly - perhaps not as striking as the leaning tower in Pisa, but still, quite noticeable!
