St Peter's Church, Gunby Grade II listed. A small and ancient parish in the deanery of Candleshoe which is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The reference states that the Parish is in the possession of Eudo, son of Spirewic, Soke in Gunnebi. One Sokeman has there two oxen in a plough. In the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) William de Braytoft held in Burgh, Gunby and Ingoldmells, the fourth part of the fee of one knight of Ketelbron de Keles, who in turn held it directly from the Crown as owner in chief. Robert, Lord Tateshall, William de Weggel and Henry de Stepinge also held lands here at the same time. The church is dedicated in honour of St Peter, the present building being erected in 1865 by R. Coad, on the site of a former church. The church is next to Gunby Hall which is owned by the National Trust however the church is not owned by them. “If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list”
