All Saints Church is a Grade I listed Anglican church in Barrowby, Lincolnshire, England. The church is situated west from Grantham on a hillside overlooking the Vale of Belvoir, and to the south of the A52. All Saints is in the ecclesiastical parish of Barrowby and Great Gonerby. ==History== A church and its priest at Barrowby is mentioned in the ''Domesday'' account.〔("Barrowby" ), ''Domesdaymap.co.uk''.

Retrieved 24 April 2013〕 During the suppression of the monasteries All Saints' medieval stained glass was destroyed, as was, in 1561, a rood screen with its attached gilded crucifix and figures of Mary and St John, and the Easter Sepulchre. The suppression also caused the breaking-up of the altar stones and the sale of the altar cross and candlesticks.〔(“The Reformation” ), Barrowbychurch.org.uk.

Chaplain to Charles I, he spent the First English Civil War with the Royalists, during which time, in 1644, he lost his living, later to be reinstated in 1660. He died on 17 March 1674 and is memorialized in the church.〔(“More Troubled Times” ), Barrowbychurch.org.uk.

He was a Snell scholar between 1736 and 1741 as a contemporary scholar of Adam Smith, and "…may have been in the ‘good company’ Smith met in that place. Like Smith, he responded to the furore over tar-water, and tried drinking it himself, to his moderate benefit, he thought…"〔Ross, Ian, Simpson: The Life of Adam Smith, (taken from George Faulkner’s Dublin Journal, 28 May 1745).

Retrieved 24 April 2013〕 New pews were added: "after being many years in a mutilated condition, the old pews were removed, and the church was restored, beautified and refitted with neat open benches of pine".〔''White's Directory of Lincolnshire 1856''〕 During the latter half of the 19th century restoration was carried out on the spire and roof, and a new organ and choir stalls were installed, while stained glass was fitted into late 14th-century windows. The Rev. George Earle Welby (rector from 1849) founded the village’s church school, and gave the church its c. 1891 timber-framed lychgate, now a Grade II listed structure.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Saints Church, Barrowby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
