Having seen various posts of this wonderful church I decided on a visit whilst being away for a long weekend. I was so glad I visited as this is such a lovely church and very atmospheric.
history
St Botolph’s Church, Skidbrooke, is a redundant Anglican church near the village of Skidbrooke. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands in an isolated position in theLincolnshire marshlands. Dating from the early 13th century, with alterations and additions in the 14th and 15th centuries, and in 1854 and 1871. the Diocese of Lincoln declared this church redundant in November 1973. The abandoned church is not far from the east coast, surrounded by a small cluster of trees with a small grave yard. The church gained the name as the Demon church as it was regularly used by Satanists in the latter part of the 70’s and 80’s. Many paranormal groups have visited and reported the place to be quite active.
