All Saints' church, Ruskington

Grade I listed

A church was recorded in the Domesday book of 1087, but the present church dates from the 12th century onwards. The original spire collapsed in the early 17th century and the tower was restored in 1620. The chancel was rebuilt and the church restored in 1885.

There is a western tower, nave with north and south aisles with three bay arcades, chancel, and south porch.
The tower is of three stages and quite plain on the exterior. The tower arch is Norman with scalloped capitals.

There is a 15th century octagonal font decorated with shields and roses.

The chancel has a heavily restored sedilia and piscina. The east window is a triple Lancet.
Most of the fittings are 19th century.

The organ is by Conacher, circa 1908 with attractively decorated pipes.
There is a stained-glass window by Morris circa 1873 at the east end of the south aisle and also a millennium stained-glass screen in the tower arch by Glenn Carter.

The church is part of the Lafford Deanery which consists of 46 churches.
