St Andrew's Church, Heckington

OpenFreeMap © OpenMapTiles · data from OpenStreetMap · terrain Mapzen/AWS

A complete Decorated church, barely altered since it was built from about 1307 — that’s the rarity at St Andrew’s. Its seven-light east window is among the finest displays of flowing tracery in England, and the carved Easter Sepulchre in the chancel one of the most celebrated to survive anywhere. The village also has Heckington’s eight-sailed windmill. Heckington station sits just south of the church, under 1km away.
