Lincolnshire Historic Graffiti Survey
North Scarle All Saints
Graffiti recorded April 2014, quality variable - mostly fair to faint or poor. 56 photos.
Essentially Early English. Destroyed by fire in 1342 and supposedly rebuilt in the fourteenth century. Extensively restored and the north aisle rebuilt by Comper who restored the church in 1895-1898. Tree-ring analysis showed that the bell-frame is made of timbers felled in 1716, whilst the belfry floor contains some timbers felled in 1482. Porch probably 17/18th C.
