A picture of Belton

The Anglican Parish church at Belton, Lincolnshire, is dedicated to St.Peter & St.Paul and stands on a site which was a dry promontory, and therefore an ancient meeting place for people awaiting the correct time to fording the River Witham and it's marshes. A church is recorded at Belton in the Doomsday survey (1085-7). The church has features from many periods including Norman, late medieval, Georgian & Victorian. Much work was carried out on the church in the early 1800's including the addition of a memorial chapel on the north side of the church. Each of the pinnacles of the tower is topped by a weather vane formed as an element of the Browlow family arms.
