Summary
| Description |
English:
The Church of St Helen, West Keal Built upon the southern edge of the Wolds, the Church of St Helen, stands between the Wolds and the Fens. The church is a landmark for miles around, while from its ancient porch can be seen the broad flat expanse of the fen stretching as far as the eye can see.
The church was consecrated in 1186, though little Norman work remains. It is built mainly of local greenstone, in the Early English and Perpendicular style, with buttresses and corners faced with Ancaster stone. The nave, with north and south aisles and clerestory, has five-bay arcades with double chamfered arches supported on hexagonal pillars. The tall tower, with battlements, pinnacles and grotesques, carries a peal of six bells.
