St
Peter's Church
|
||
|
'A
church with ten acres of land' is recorded in Domesdday in 1086 and
there may well have been several earlier buildings on the site: amongst
the flints on the outside of the chancel are what appear to be Roman
bricks. Tanner's list of incumbents starts at 1302 and the present simple
church, consisting of nave, chancel, south aisle and timber south porch,
is all early 14th century. the original 'square, but not lofty tower',
with battlements and buttresses was taken down, presumably because it
was unsafe and there was no money to rebuild in 1836, and replaced by
a weather-boarded bell turret.

In the period of
Suffolk's prosperity, during the growth of the wool trade, Lindsey was
important enough to give its name to the cloth known as Lindsey-wool,
a material used for women's everyday garments. Now however the parish
is small and the houses are scattered.
