"This handsome church has a fourteenth-century three-stage tower and chancel, a broad fifteenth-century nave, with magnificent Perpendicular windows, and beautiful Victorian stained glass. One pane of glass shows Samuel Speare, an altar boy at St Mary's, who became a missionary aged 15 in Zanzibar. Having survived terrible conditions in East Africa, Samuel died in Lincolnshire three months after his return aged only 20."
