The largely 15th century church of St Guthlac is the only church in Market Deeping, Lincolnshire, England and part of the Church of England in the Anglo-Catholic Tradition.
Architecturally, the church is very interesting. On the South face of the tower is a limestone sundial inscribed with the phrase The day is thine, with a similar sundial on the North face which bears the words The Night cometh. The interior of the church is also of interest. The nave is supported on the south aisle by Norman arches, whereas those on the north aisle are more modern Gothic architecture. The church also has a large Victorian organ. The stained glass windows in the Chancel are a series of scenes depicting the life of the saint to whom the church is dedicated, Saint Guthlac, including one in which he is seen sailing through what is now the fens to establish a monastery, now Crowland Abbey. This scene has become the logo for the nearby Deepings School in Deeping St James.
Current status
The Rector is the Reverend Philip Brent.
The Sunday School at the church takes place opposite the church in the "Green School".
Fundraising is currently underway for a tower project to improve access to comply with disability legislation.
“If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
