The old All Saints sits alone on a Wolds hilltop above Walesby, left behind when a new church was built down in the village in 1913. Walkers on the Viking Way took it up instead: a rambling club began an annual pilgrimage here in the 1930s, and a 1951 stained-glass window shows walkers and cyclists rather than saints. It’s kept open, and the view west runs for miles. Market Rasen station is about 5km to the south-west.
