Travel Guide

There is no mention of the church in the Domesday book, but there are indications that the first building was early Norman. The church is first documented in 1280. The church is constructed with greenstone with brickwork and ashlar dressings. The roof is slate. There is a western tower, nave with south aisle, chancel, vestry, and south porch. The tower is of three stages dating from the 15th century, it was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. It has a plain parapet and crocketted pinnacles. There is a date stone of 1684 on a plaque which marks the rebuilding of the tower which had collapsed. On the second stage of the tower there is another date stone of 1894 from when the upper part was rebuilt. There a three bay south arcade with octagonal piers from the 15th century. The nave also has three 19th-century dormer windows on the south side which were in inserted in 1911. The chancel was rebuilt in 1870 by James Fowler, the 15th century chancel arch being retained. There is a modern rood loft and screen, the original rood stairs are still present. Either side of the rood are two wooden carved Angels, probably dating from the 15th century and taken from Louth church. In the 19th century porch there is a Norman holy water stoup. There is a 14th century octagonal font set on a Minton tile dias. In 1877 the church underwent major restoration which included new roofs, porch, installation of heating, new floors plus other improvements. This was not finished until 1894 due to financial issues.

St.Michael's church, Mavis Enderby, Lincs. Victorian 'restorations' of 1870, 1875 & 1894 give St.Michael's a curious appearance .... note the strange dormer windows in the nave ! Perpendicular inside and a Norman pillar piscina in the south porch.
St Michael, Mavis Enderby The church of St Michael is of greenstone in the Gothic style, with traces of Norman work. The chancel was rebuilt to its original length in 1870, and the nave, aisle and porch restored by Fowler in 1875. In the porch is a Norman Pillar Piscina. (A stone basin in a church for draining water used in rinsing the chalice etc.) The churchyard cross has been restored, and there is a sundial erected by a former rector.

Value for money having paid £85 for two rooms on a Saturday night. The rooms were large. Check in was fine, but in a separate building away from the hotel. However, Boston West does not offer breakfast even though advertised online.
