St Botolph's church, Saxilby

Grade I listed.
12th Century onwards. A clerestoried nave, chancel, north aisle and chapel with western tower, which was rebuilt in 1908.
The north arcade is 13th C. of 3 bays, also 13th C. tower arch. The font is a 15th C. octagonal bowl carved with coats of arms
The oldest part of the church is the wall of the north aisle with the doorway in it believed to be Saxon but is more probably Early Norman dating back to AD 1100, the rest of the building appears to be Perpendicular in style dating from AD 1350 to AD 1500. The nave roof is 15th century.
In the north chancel on a tombchest, lie the figures of a knight and his lady in alabaster. Restored in 1994, it is still a beautiful example of the period and is dated about AD 1370. It was brought from the chapel at Ingleby and it is thought that this tomb may have some connection with the d’Aubigny family who lived at Ingleby some 700 years ago. One member of the family – Philip d’Aubigny – went to the Holy Land at the time of the crusades. He died in Jerusalem in 1236.
Under the tower is displayed a rare treasure in the form of manuscript sheets of music over 500 years old, consisting of a setting of the Creed in Latin in a curious notation. Only photocopies remain in a glass case.
