Description
Historic graffiti at the Church of All Saints was recorded by the Lincolnshire Medieval Graffiti Project. The survey identified a number of historic marks, mostly confined to the nave pillars, but with more seen on the tower stair walls and bell chamber. The marks comprise examples from a wide variety of graffiti types, including a large number of masons marks, witch marks, crosses, circles and geometric shapes. Perhaps the most significant mark, however, is a design that is thought to show a figure playing a trumpet or horn of some kind, possibly associated with another group of figures, who may represent soldiers dating from the 16th century. {1}
