Churches in Grimsby, Lincolnshire

“Attended the Remembrance outside service: it was heartening to see so many people there.It was a lovely but sad occasion, marred only by the difficulties with the technology, the vicar seemed to struggle with the sound system (just like last year). I'm sure one of the many young people in attendance would have been only too willing to help the poor lady out, for we all know how technical proficient many of the 'kids' are.Having said all that I am not from Waltham but some of my family are and we all attend as family.Please Lady Reverent, wear your cassock over your outdoor wear and then we will recognise you in the crowd.To all the poor men and women who fought for us, often dying in the process Thank you and Thank you to Waltham for remembering them”

“St Martin is hidden off the busy A16 but is worth a look inside. When you go in don't be put off by the darkness, the light switches are in the vestry on you're right as you go in, the door may need a little force to open and signs are up to help you find them. Once they have warmed up you will see the decoration from the restoration work done in 1861 at the request of the Haigh family. The font is simple and victorian but the stained glass windows and tiled walls and floor are fantastic. The chancel has memorials to the Haigh family who lived in Grainsby Hall which is no longer their. Lots of information on recent work on the church as well as other churches in the care of the churches conservation trust. Plenty of space to park your car, the path up to the church is grass an up hill slightly, becareful with the fragile wooden gat at the entrance!”
