St John the Evangelist's Church is a Grade I listed Church of England parish church dedicated to John the Evangelist, in Corby Glen, Lincolnshire, England. The church is situated south-east from Grantham, and in the South Kesteven Lincolnshire Vales. The church is noted in particular for its 14th- and 15th-century medieval wall paintings. St John's is in the ecclesiastical parish of Corby Glen, and is part of the Corby Glen Group of churches in the Deanery of Beltisloe, and the Diocese of Lincoln. Other churches within the group are St Andrew's at Irnham, and St Nicholas' at Swayfield.〔("Corby Glen P C C" ), Diocese of Lincoln.

According to the church web site St John's dates principally from the 15th century, with use of earlier fabric from the 12th, however, according to ''Kelly's Directory'', it dates largely from the 14th. The chancel was extended in the 15th century, with two windows added. The church was restored, and new pews added, in 1860, and the tower restored in 1928 at a cost of £800. 〔("St John the Evangelist's Church, Corby Glen" ), Corby Glen Village Website.

The incumbent from 1851 until at least 1885 was the Rev'd Charles Farebrother BCL, of Trinity College, Oxford, and former domestic chaplain to the 1st Duke of Cambridge, with a living of £700 net value, comprising a residency and of glebe lands in the gift of the trustees of W. H. Woodhouse of Irnham. Charles Farebrother placed a stained glass window in the chancel to the memory of his deceased children. By the 1930s the vicarage, and glebe lands which had reduced to , in the gift of Sir Frederick John Jones JP, had been held since 1900 by the Rev'd Arthur Abbott MA, of Queen's College, Oxford.〔〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire'' 1855, p. 62〕〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, pp. 366–367〕 In 1939 a churchwarden discovered medieval wall paintings beneath flaking later whitewash.〔 St John's received a National Heritage Grade I listing in 1968.〔 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「St John the Evangelist's Church, Corby Glen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
