St. Andrew's in Kirton in Lindsey is a church with a long history.  The very name Kirton means 'town of the church' which shows its importance in the area from the 7th century onwards.  There are indications that the earliest church could well have been built on the site of a Roman temple.  Certainly the Saxons built their place of worship here, though the remains of this structure are few.  In about the year 1200 the original Saxon church was virtually pulled down to be extensively enlarged and rebuilt in the Early English style.  This, with additions and renovations over 800 years, is the church seen here today.
