St. Thomas’ Church, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire

The Church is medieval in origin and was substantially remodelled in 1862.

The tower stonework was identified as an area of the building requiring urgent repair with failure of the buttresses being of particular concern.Re-roofing of the nave and aisle roofing slates was also prioritised. The project was supported by the ‘Repair Grants for Places of Worship in England’ under the stewardship of English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Works included the replacement of the majority of the tower buttress stonework, renewal of the badly worn belfry window surrounds, general re-pointing in lime mortar and replacement of eroded ashlar stonework, renewal of rainwater goods and recovering of the slate roofs.
