Europe, British Isles, North-Central England, Lincolnshire, North Kesteven, Branston, All Saints' Church [Map]
All Saints' Church, Branston is in Branston, North Kesteven.
1080. All Saints' Church, Branston [Map]. A church and a priest are mentioned in Domesday Book. All Saints church in Branston seems to have two early phases of construction, dating to the Saxon and Saxo-Norman periods. The south-west quoin of the nave shows eleventh century work, and appears to be earlier than the west tower. The west tower has late Saxon/early Norman characteristics. The arcade on the west side shows the influence of Remigius' west front at Lincoln cathedral. It may have been built by the son of Walter de Aincurt, who was a kinsman of Remigius. It is thought to be a pre-Conquest church of high status, and was probably known as a 'minster'.
