Two venerated springs are reported in the village, Holy Well and St Winifred's. Only the location of the first is known. There are no other place names associated with venerated springs in Lincolnshire,〔(''Monument no. 348212'' ), ''National Monuments Record'', English Heritage.

Holywell Hall, a mansion in “well-wooded park”, was then the seat of Charles Thomas Samuel Birch-Reynardson DL, lord of the manor, and sole landowner. The chapel in the park, a small stone building in Early English style, was reconstructed in reign of Queen Anne. It comprises a chancel, nave, south aisle and two-bell tower. A restoration of 1863-64 included the replacement of a previous flat roof with one of open timber, with the church interior re-fitted in oak, “effected under the superintendence of rector Rev J B Reynardson”.〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, p. 483〕 In 1916 ''Cox'' stated that Holywell is a chapelry of Careby parish. The church in Holywell Hall grounds was moved in 1699 from a site east of the Castle Bytham road 'between the bridge and the mill' where it had been subject to frequent flooding. It incorporates material from the destroyed church of Aunby, including two Norman piers that support the tower, a Decorated doorway and a window glazed with Perpendicular style glass.〔Cox, J. Charles (1916) ''Lincolnshire'' p. 168; Methuen & Co. Ltd.〕 ''Pevsner '' adds that St Wilfrid's church stands south of Holywell Hall as one of its garden ornaments, has an east window with a mosaic of small fragments from the 15th to 19th centuries, and a paten and chalice dated 1662.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus; Harris, John; ''The Buildings of England: Lincolnshire'' pp. 575, 576; Penguin, (1964); revised by Nicholas Antram (1989), Yale University Press.
