St Andrew's church, Helpringham

Grade I listed.

The church dates from circa 1200 onwards, and was restored in 1891.
There is a fine west tower, nave with north and south aisles and clerestory, chancel, and south porch.
The tower dates from the 14th century and has pinnacles and flying buttresses, a crocketted spire with lucarnes, and is 170 feet high.
There are five bells, mostly from the 18th century.
The church exterior is all ashlar faced.

The circular font is from circa 1200, and could depict a tree of life on one side.

The nave was rebuilt around 1340, and has four-bay arcades, which extend round the tower. There are piscinas in the north and south aisles, and the north aisle has a door giving access to the old rood loft.
There is a Lady Chapel in the north aisle, with windows by A. E. Lemmon.

The chancel dates from the 13th century and is the earliest part of the church. There is a trefoil headed sedilia and piscina.
The screen dates from around 1500, and there was originally a Rood loft which was removed later in the 16th century.

In the 1890's the nave and chancel were re-roofed.

In 2007 kitchen and toilet facilities were added.

The organ is by Forster and Andrews, and has been awarded an Historic Organ certificate.
